The correct answer is c: cirrhosis.

To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the effects of alcohol abuse on the liver. Cirrhosis is a condition that occurs when the liver becomes permanently scarred and damaged. Alcohol abuse is one of the primary causes of cirrhosis.

To identify the correct answer amongst the options provided, let's go through each one:

a: alcoholism - Alcoholism refers to a chronic disease characterized by an individual's inability to control or stop drinking. While alcohol abuse is a risk factor for cirrhosis, alcoholism itself is not the scarring of the liver.

b: detoxification - Detoxification is the process by which the body eliminates toxic substances, including alcohol, from the body. While detoxification can be a treatment for alcohol abuse, it is not the scarring of the liver.

c: cirrhosis - Cirrhosis is the correct answer. It refers to the scarring and irreversible damage to the liver caused by alcohol abuse among other factors.

d: addiction - Addiction is a broad term that refers to a compulsive, uncontrollable dependence on a substance or activity. While alcohol addiction is closely related to alcohol abuse, it does not specifically describe the scarring of the liver.

Thus, the correct answer is cirrhosis (option c).
