    Which of the following is a correctly prioritized hypothesis about manifestations of withdrawal symptoms?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Withdrawal symptoms will only manifest as physical discomfort and will not affect a person's mental state. Withdrawal can cause both physical and psychological symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and hallucinations. B. Withdrawal symptoms will manifest differently depending on the type of addictive substance. Different substances (e.g., alcohol, opioids, stimulants) have distinct withdrawal symptoms. For example, alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures, while opioid withdrawal causes flu-like symptoms. C. Withdrawal symptoms will only occur immediately after the cessation of the addictive substance. Symptoms may be delayed depending on the substance's half-life and duration of use. D. Withdrawal symptoms will always include severe headache as the primary manifestation. Headaches are not universal in withdrawal and are substance-dependent.
