Solution
The answer is the second one (Liver): Jaundice, which is among the many negative side effects of anabolic steroid use, indicates damage to the liver.
Explanation for each option:
Bone marrow: Jaundice is not typically associated with bone marrow damage. Bone marrow issues might lead to blood disorders, but not jaundice.
Liver: Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes, which occurs due to an excess of bilirubin in the blood. This is often a result of liver damage or dysfunction, as the liver is responsible for processing and clearing bilirubin from the body.
Pancreas: While the pancreas can be affected by steroid use, jaundice is not a direct indicator of pancreatic damage.
Kidneys: Kidney damage can result from steroid use, but jaundice is not a typical symptom of kidney issues.
In summary, jaundice is most directly related to liver damage, making the liver the correct answer.
