The answer is e. Calcitonin, Aldosterone and Atrial natriuretic peptide.

The calcitonin is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. Calcitonin is involved in the regulation of the levels of calcium and phosphate in the blood. Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by the adrenal gland.  It is essential for maintaining the store of sodium in the kidney, salivary glands, sweat glands and colon. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) or Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a peptide hormone synthesized, and secreted by cardiac muscle cells in the  heart. ANP is involved in the regulation of sodium levels in the cells of the heart.

Answer: Lack of energy

Explanation:

Oxygen is needed in a process known as Respiration where it is used to produce energy from glucose. This energy is what the cell uses to continue whatever functions that it carries out which are needed for the body to survive. If the cells don't get oxygen, they can't make energy and if they can't make energy, they die.

Some cells are more important than others and so will need a constant supply of oxygen. The brain for instance requires 20% of the oxygen used in the body. If the body suffers from a lack of oxygen for whatever reason, brain cells begin to die within about 4 minutes.

The brain is extremely important as it directs the body. If the cells there begin to die, the body deteriorates and the body stops engaging in certain processes due to a lack of direction from the brain. This coupled with the other cells dying around the body will lead to even more deterioration till the body dies.
