The answer is the second one: The woman's BAC will likely be higher.

Explanation for each option:

  1. The man's BAC will likely be higher.
    This is incorrect. Generally, women tend to have a higher body fat percentage and lower water content compared to men. Alcohol is water-soluble, so it is more diluted in men, leading to a lower BAC.

  2. The woman's BAC will likely be higher.
    This is correct. Women typically have less water in their bodies than men of the same weight, which means alcohol is less diluted in women, resulting in a higher BAC.

  3. Their BAC levels would be the same.
    This is incorrect. Due to physiological differences, such as body composition and water content, BAC levels are usually higher in women than in men when consuming the same amount of alcohol.

  4. None of the above.
    This is incorrect because option two accurately describes the typical difference in BAC between men and women of the same weight consuming the same amount of alcohol.

In summary, due to differences in body composition and water content, a woman's BAC will likely be higher than a man's when both consume the same amount of alcohol.
