Explanation & Rationale

B) While recent sexual assault is a significant concern, it does not directly indicate alcohol abuse and would not necessitate the use of the CAGE questionnaire. C) Describing oneself as a social drinker who consumes alcohol daily raises concerns about alcohol dependence or abuse, warranting the use of the CAGE questionnaire to assess for problematic drinking patterns. D) Frequent use of antidepressants does not directly suggest alcohol abuse and would not necessitate the use of the CAGE questionnaire.
