d. it disrupts brain development

Explanation:

First Question (Effects of alcohol on the brain)

Alcohol is a depressant that affects the brain's functioning. It impairs judgment (option a) because it slows down cognitive processes and decision - making centers in the brain. Option b is wrong as alcohol does not enhance decision - making; it hinders it. Option c is incorrect as alcohol does not boost cognitive function; it often impairs it. Option d is wrong as alcohol clearly impacts the brain.

Teenagers' brains are still in the process of development. Underage drinking disrupts this brain development (option d). Option a is wrong as underage drinking can have long - term effects. Option b is incorrect as alcohol affects multiple organs, not just the liver. Option c is wrong as underage drinking does not improve stress management; it can create more problems related to stress and mental health.

Answer:

a. It impairs judgment
