The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fatty Liver Syndrome**: - Fatty liver syndrome is a condition where the liver accumulates fat due to its inability to break it down effectively. This can lead to serious liver damage over time. 2. **Mechanism of Fat Accumulation**: - Normally, the liver metabolizes fats through various biochemical processes. When these processes are disrupted, fat begins to accumulate in the liver cells. 3. **Consequences of Fat Accumulation**: - As fat builds up, the liver may harden and dry out. This hardening process can lead to the replacement of healthy liver cells with fibrous tissue, which impairs liver function. 4. **Identifying Causes**: - The question asks for the excessive intake that leads to fatty liver syndrome. The options provided include morphine, tobacco, and alcohol. 5. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Morphine**: This is an opioid and does not directly cause fatty liver syndrome. - **Tobacco**: While harmful to health, it is not directly linked to fatty liver syndrome. - **Alcohol**: Excessive consumption of alcohol is well-documented to lead to fatty liver disease due to its impact on liver metabolism. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the excessive intake of alcohol is the primary cause of fatty liver syndrome. Therefore, the correct answer is **C. Alcohol**.
