Answer:

<u>Liquefaction</u> refers to the tendency of a foundation material (such as soil) that is water-logged to lose its internal cohesion and mechanically fail to provide support during earthquake shaking.

Explanation:

Liquefaction occurs when an unbound material (usually sand), which is saturated in water, loses its resistance to shear due to intense and rapid vibration (earthquake), which breaks its granular structure by reducing its inter-granular pressure and flow like a liquid because of an increase in pressure.

Liquefaction usually manifests itself in loose, saturated and non-cohesive soils, formed by young deposits of sands and sediments of similar particle sizes. If the soil is dense there will be less chances of liquefaction. Older deposits, in general, are more dense and cohesive. At higher density, more interstitial pressure is needed for liquefaction to occur.

Kryger [21]
The correct answer is A, parathyroid gland.

The parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid gland which <span>inhibits osteoblasts, stimulates osteoclasts,</span> reduces the calcium output by the kidneys and promotes absorption of the calcium by the small intestines. Calcitonin, secreted by the thyroid gland, also works to a similar effect.
