The answer is A. The brain tends to react to the excessive dopamine levels produced by the addictive substance, and therefore increases the amount of receptors in the brain that takes in dopamine. This is the best answer since there is a big effect when it comes to the brain and how it reacts to the emotion when we get high from a drug.
