• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Colloquially, the use of performance enhancing drugs by sportspersons is called ‘doping’. Women who use anabolic steroids can show signs of severe masculinization including mood swings, depression, increased aggressiveness and excessive hair growth on the body. Sexual characteristics can also change in women resulting in deepening of their voice, enlargement of the clitoris and abnormal menstrual cycles.
