It is C) Fat accumulation (fatty liver), fibrosis, and cirrhosis.

When a person consumes alcohol over a time period,
it causes fat to develop inside the liver (known as
fat infiltration) This is simple fatty liver disease.
If the alcohol isn't stopped, then there can be damage
to the liver cells (this is then known as Steatohepatitis;
steato means fat, hepat means liver, and itis means
inflammation) The inflammation occurs because
the immune system of the body responds to the cell
damage. It will cause the liver to enlarge in size.
This leads to fibrosis. Since the alcohol is still
consumed, then it can progress to where the liver
cells die off and form scar tissue inside the liver that
blocks the flow of blood...death of the liver cells is
Cirrhosis of the liver.
