Answer
A
declining physical appearance and health
B
failing to meet family, school, or work obligations
C
needing less and less of a drug to get the same effect
D
using drugs when there is no health benefit
E
failing in attempts to stop using a drug
F
stealing to get drugs

Explanation

Addiction can show up as worsening health or appearance, neglecting family, school, or work responsibilities, and continuing to use drugs without a medical benefit. Repeatedly failing to stop and stealing to obtain drugs can also signal loss of control and harmful drug-seeking behavior. Choice C is not a sign of tolerance: tolerance usually means needing more of a drug to get the same effect, not less.
