Answer 1

The correct option is B Liver stores excess of fat

Liver stores fats in a small amount. Hepatic cells plays an important part in fat metabolism. The storage of fats increases in the liver of alcohol addict persons. This is commonly called as fatty liver. The excess storage of fats decreases the activity of liver. The damage of liver due to alcohol intake is called as alcoholic liver cirrhosis.
