The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks why the liver gets damaged in individuals who consume alcohol excessively. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Accumulation of fats - Storage of glycogen - Secretion of more bile - Detoxification of alcohol 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Accumulation of Fats**: Alcohol consumption leads to a condition known as fatty liver syndrome, where fat accumulates in the liver cells. - **Storage of Glycogen**: While the liver does store glycogen, excessive alcohol consumption disrupts this process rather than causing damage through glycogen storage. - **Secretion of More Bile**: Alcohol does not primarily cause liver damage through increased bile secretion. - **Detoxification of Alcohol**: Although the liver detoxifies alcohol, this process can lead to damage due to the toxic byproducts generated during alcohol metabolism. 4. **Conclusion**: The primary reason for liver damage in alcoholics is the accumulation of fats, which leads to fatty liver syndrome. This condition progresses to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, affecting the liver's structure and function. 5. **Final Answer**: In alcoholics, the liver gets damaged due to the accumulation of fats. ---
