Solution

The correct answers are:

  1. Vitamin A cannot be transported efficiently through the body.
  2. The breakdown of Vitamin A to end products increases.
  3. The formation of Vitamin A from beta-carotene is impaired.

These are all effects of liver damage due to chronic alcohol use. The liver plays a crucial role in the metabolism and storage of Vitamin A. When the liver is damaged, it can't perform these functions properly, leading to the mentioned effects.

The statement "stores become larger" is not correct. In fact, the opposite is true. As the liver becomes damaged, its ability to store Vitamin A decreases.
