D. Addiction is a choice.
Explanation: It's a common myth that addiction is just a moral failing or voluntary choice. Modern research shows addiction is a chronic brain disease influenced by genetics, environment, and neurobiology. (Also note that "legal drugs cannot cause addiction" is false — alcohol, nicotine, benzodiazepines, etc., can be addictive — and addiction can be treated with professional help.)
