The sentence that BEST shows the way a person's automatic body functions take over in the event of an emergency is sentence A: "At the sight of the tiger, your hypothalamus sends a message to your adrenal glands and within seconds, you can run faster, hit harder, see better, hear more acutely, think faster, and jump higher than you could only seconds earlier."
The sentence that BEST shows the way a person's automatic body functions take over in the event of an emergency is option A: "At the sight of the tiger, your hypothalamus sends a message to your adrenal glands and within seconds, you can run faster, hit harder, see better, hear more acutely, think faster, and jump higher than you could only seconds earlier."
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze each option and consider which one specifically mentions the automatic physiological response to an emergency. Option A describes the activation of the body's stress response system, with the hypothalamus sending a message to the adrenal glands. This triggers the release of stress hormones, leading to various physical enhancements in response to the emergency situation. The other options do not provide such direct information about the automatic bodily functions during emergency situations.
