C. elevated levels of cortisol, causing overeating.

Explanation:

Stress releases the hormones and also the effects of high-fat, sugary "comfort foods" push people toward overeating.

Stress can possibly shut down appetite. When the body is stressed, the nervous system sends messages to the adrenal glands atop the kidneys to pump out the hormone adrenaline. Adrenaline helps to trigger the body's fight-or-flight response, which is a revved-up physiological state that temporarily puts eating on hold.

But if stress persists, it's a different story entirely. The adrenal glands release another hormone called cortisol, and cortisol increases appetite and may also ramp up motivation in general, including the motivation to eat. Once a stressful episode is over, cortisol levels should fall, but if the stress doesn't go away — or if a person's stress response gets stuck in the "on" position — cortisol may stay elevated, causing overeating.

C. Elevated levels of cortisol, causing over heating

Explanation:

The stress hormone is called cortisol. Once the body is stressed , the adrenal glands secrete high amounts of cortisol into the blood stream. This can lead to increase in the heart rate and the blood pressure. High cortisol levels in the blood reduce the insulin levels, causing overeating. This is because even though glucose is present in the blood, the cells are still starved of it. Causing the sensation of hunger during stress periods.

This makes option C correct.

Option A is wrong.

Gastrin is not the stress hormone. it is a hormone which stimulates secretion of gastric juice and is secreted into the bloodstream by the stomach wall in response to the presence of food.

Option B is also wrong

Gastrin is not the stress hormone.

Option D is wrong

Stress increases the level of cortisol secretion, rather than reduces it.

Recent research by marine biologists suggests that bottlenose dolphins have names for themselves. scientists played sounds they had identified as the names of particular dolphins, putting them through a synthesizer so that they did not sound like the voices of particular dolphins. the researchers found that dolphins would respond to the names of other dolphins that they were related to or associated with, but they ignored the names of strangers. this discovery suggests a much greater degree of self-awareness in aquatic mammals than was previously suspected. if this research holds up, what does it suggest about dolphins?
