Statement (I): In females, it causes acne, breast enlargement, kidney and liver dysfunctions.
Statement (II): In males, it causes masculinization, excessive hair growth on the body surface and deepening voice.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
• C. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
• D. Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.

Hint:

Both statements swap the sexes: masculinisation is a female effect, while breast enlargement and testicular shrinkage are male effects.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Anabolic steroids act like male hormones, so their side effects differ by sex.

Step 2: Statement (I)
Acne, breast enlargement and kidney or liver problems are listed for males. In females the effects are masculinisation, excess hair, menstrual problems and deep voice. So statement (I) is incorrect.

Step 3: Statement (II)
Masculinisation, excess body hair and deepening voice are female effects. In males, steroids cause testicular shrinkage and low sperm count. So statement (II) is incorrect.

Step 4: Conclusion
Both statements are incorrect.

Final Answer:
Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect. \[ \boxed{\text{(B) }\text{Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.}} \]
