Consumption of alcohol
- increases mental and physical reaction times.
- does not change mental or physical reactions.
- decreases mental and physical reaction times.
Explanation from PART66Online
Alcohol is a depressant that slows the nervous system, so it lengthens, or increases, both mental and physical reaction times, making responses slower. Saying it has no effect, or that it speeds reactions up, is the opposite of its true depressant action on performance.

Because reaction time is the delay before you respond and alcohol makes that delay longer, answer is A. If it said decreases reaction times that would mean you react faster, which is opposite of what alcohol does.
