B
Explanation :
The theory that drug addiction is the result of the negative effects of a substance when it is removed is known as cognitive association theory. This theory posits that individuals become addicted to drugs because they associate the relief of negative withdrawal symptoms with the drug, rather than any positive effects experienced while using it.
