B Correct answer
Explanation

Long-term alcohol use causes multiple health problems including brain atrophy (loss of brain mass) and hypertension (heightened blood pressure). However, it DECREASES sperm production and testosterone in males rather than increasing it - alcohol is toxic to the reproductive system. Therefore 'increased sperm production' is NOT an effect of alcohol use; it's the opposite.
