Solution

The correct option is D Acetaldehyde in body
Hangover is the experience of unpleasant effects in body (which may be physiological or psychological) after consuming alcohol. It occurs due to accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body. Acetaldehyde is formed from alcohol by the action of enzyme alcoholic dehydrogenase (ADH). It causes dizziness, dry mouth, headache weakness, mood changes etc. Dehydration also occurs as urine output is increased due to consumption of alcohol.
So, the correct answer is 'Acetaldehyde in body'.
