please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

To determine the best answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The cost of a method isn't the main reason for its effectiveness in remaining alcohol - free. So, A is incorrect.
• Option B: If there is no alcohol available (by avoiding situations with alcohol), there is no temptation to drink it. This logically explains why avoiding alcohol - present situations is a good strategy for staying alcohol - free.
• Option C: The statement "you should never be involved..." is a moral or prescriptive statement, not an explanation of why avoiding such situations is a good strategy. So, C is incorrect.
• Option D: The goal is to remain alcohol - free, and this option is about choosing when to drink, which goes against the goal. So, D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. You cannot be tempted to drink alcohol if none is available.
