The correct answer is 2. Runoff will decrease as infiltration increases

Explanation:

Runoff refers to the flow of water over the surface that occurs due to the soil being saturated or surfaces that do not allow infiltration such as pavement. On the other hand, infiltration occurs as water soaks into soil or it is absorbed by it.

This means in the case presented, once the water reaches an area of unsaturated soil, it is expected infiltration increases because this soil different from solid bedrock absorbs water. At the same time, runoff or water flowing without being absorbed will decrease as water will soak into the soil due to infiltration. Thus, in this case, the runoff will decrease as infiltration increases.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

A) Calcitonin injection

Explanation:

Parafollicular cells or C-cells of the thyroid gland produce a hormone which is involved in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood. This hormone is Calcitonin. It works in an antagonistic manner with the Parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcitonin decreases the calcium level in the blood by increasing absorption of calcium ions in bones. In osteoporosis, when the patient is given the injection of hormone calcitonin, it produces and increase in bone mass because it negatively affects the rate of absorption of bone by the osteoclasts.
