Of course, it has to be B.

The long-term effect of Prohibition was the growth of organized crime, so option B is correct. To understand this, let me explain how you can arrive at the answer.
Prohibition was a nationwide ban on the production, sale, and distribution of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1920 to 1933. It was implemented with the intention of reducing crime, corruption, and social problems associated with alcohol consumption.
However, Prohibition had unintended consequences. One significant effect was the growth of organized crime. Since the demand for alcohol continued despite its illegality, criminal organizations seized the opportunity to fill the void left by legal suppliers. They smuggled, produced, and distributed alcoholic beverages through illegal means, leading to the rise of bootlegging operations and the emergence of powerful crime syndicates.
These organized crime groups, such as those led by notable figures like Al Capone, profited immensely from the illicit alcohol trade. They expanded their networks, engaged in violent activities to protect their operations, and corrupted law enforcement officers and politicians.
Therefore, the long-term effect of Prohibition was the growth of organized crime (option B), not an end to alcoholism in the United States (option C).
