C.The higher the blood alcohol concentration, the more severe the hangover will be.
The statement that is true about blood alcoholconcentration is blood alcohol concentration is affected by factors such as body size and gender. So, option (A) is right.
Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) refers to the percentage of alcohol (ethyl alcohol or ethanol) in a person's blood. A blood alcohol content of 10% indicates that there is 1 part alcohol in every 1000 parts blood in the body. Alcohol content is measured in grams per 100 milliliters of blood.
Body size: People with larger bodies have more blood, thus they can consume more alcohol before it affects them negatively.
Men typically have greater BAC levels than women.
Your metabolism determines how quickly your body breaks down alcohol.
Option (B) and (C) is incorrect because drinking coffee and exercising will not lower your BAC but will make you feel more alert, even if your BAC is still high and severity of a hangover is not directly related to BAC.
Therefore, option (A) is the true statement.
