Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence or absence of salt in the diet or the time since the last meal is unlikely to have a direct effect on excessive drinking behavior in rats. However, research has shown that rats given a high salt diet are more likely to consume alcohol excessively compared to rats on a normal diet. Therefore, choice C is the most likely scenario that would result in excessive drinking behavior in rats.
