The terms substance use disorder has replaced the term addiction, in part to reduce the stigma of the condition. As per the DSM-5, substance use disorder refers to a problematic pattern of using alcohol or another substance that results in clinically significant impairment or distress. The term addiction can have negative connotations and may contribute to stigma, so it has been replaced with substance use disorder to reduce the shame associated with the condition. 
Choice B is incorrect since substance use disorder can cause both mood alterations and behavioral changes. Choice C is incorrect as DSM-5 includes substance use disorder involving drugs such as cocaine, opioids, and cannabis, in addition to alcohol. Choice D is incorrect as substance use disorder can occur through various routes of administration, including but not limited to injection in the liquid form.
