which best describes an unintended consequence of prohibition?\n○ an increase in chronic illness\n○ an increase in \medicinal alcohol\\n○ a decrease in violent crime\n○ a decrease in immoral behavior

Answer

Brief Explanations:

During Prohibition, the ban on alcohol led to people using "medicinal alcohol" (which was legally available with a prescription) more as a substitute for regular alcohol. Chronic illness wasn't a main unintended consequence. Violent crime actually increased due to bootlegging and gang - related alcohol trade. Immoral behavior (a very broad and subjective term) didn't decrease; instead, illegal activities related to alcohol flourished.

Answer:

an increase in "medicinal alcohol"
