Explanation:

Amphetamines are stimulants. After their effect wears off, a "crash" can occur, leading to depression and fatigue. Extended - use liver/kidney damage (A) is not the most immediate concern here. They don't typically increase blood viscosity to cause fatal blood clots (C) and they usually increase metabolic rate rather than decrease it (D).

Answer:

B. amphetamines may cause depression and fatigue after the effect wears off.
