Statement (I): In females, it causes acne, breast enlargement, kidney and liver dysfunctions.
Statement (II): In males, it causes masculinization, excessive hair growth on the body surface and deepening voice.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Options
- ABoth Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
- BBoth Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.

- DStatement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.
Correct answer
B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
Step-by-step solution
According to NCERT Biology, the side-effects of the use of anabolic steroids in females include masculinisation, increased aggressiveness, mood swings, depression, abnormal menstrual cycles, excessive hair growth on the face and body, enlargement of clitoris, and deepening of voice.
In males, the side-effects include acne, increased aggressiveness, mood swings, depression, reduction of size of the testicles, decreased sperm production, potential for kidney and liver dysfunction, breast enlargement, premature baldness, and enlargement of the prostate gland.
Statement (I) incorrectly attributes male side-effects (breast enlargement, kidney and liver dysfunctions) to females.
Statement (II) incorrectly attributes female side-effects (masculinisation, excessive hair growth, deepening of voice) to males.
Therefore, both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
Answer: Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
In males, the side-effects include acne, increased aggressiveness, mood swings, depression, reduction of size of the testicles, decreased sperm production, potential for kidney and liver dysfunction, breast enlargement, premature baldness, and enlargement of the prostate gland.
Statement (I) incorrectly attributes male side-effects (breast enlargement, kidney and liver dysfunctions) to females.
Statement (II) incorrectly attributes female side-effects (masculinisation, excessive hair growth, deepening of voice) to males.
Therefore, both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
