Solution
The correct option is B Liver
Alcohol is absorbed from the mucous membrane of mouth, oesophagus, small intestine and large intestine. Metabolism of alcohol occurs in liver. Alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde by alcoholic dehydrogenase. Acetaldehyde is then converted into acetate by aldehyde dehydrogenase. Acetate is finally converted into carbon dioxide and water. About 90% of the alcohol absorbed is eliminated from body through metabolic processes in liver. So, the correct answer is 'Liver'.
