Explanation:

Anabolic steroids are synthetic substances related to male sex hormones. Unlike many illegal drugs (such as cocaine, heroin, etc. which can cause intoxication - a state of being drunk or drugged in a way that impairs mental and physical abilities), anabolic steroids do not cause intoxication. They have significant side - effects (so A is wrong), are dangerous for both men and women (so C is wrong), and while they are synthetic derivatives (often of testosterone - a natural product), this is not the key differentiating factor from other illegal drugs in the context of the question (as many illegal drugs can have natural sources like opium for heroin but are processed; the non - intoxication aspect is more relevant here).

Answer:

B. They do not cause intoxication
