Answer: a) Peripheral slowing hypothesis.

Explanation: Peripheral slowing hypothesis is the theory that states about outer nervous system's processing and functioning speed starts to slow down. This is caused due to changes in nerves of the brain due to ageing that slows the process of communication with organs and muscles.

According to the situation of the question, Henry's slow processing of finger is due to the old age as compared to his grandson which has declined the functioning of his nerves with the muscles and organs

Other options are incorrect because generalized slowing hypothesis  is slowing process of age due to cognitive factors. Reaction time shortening is the slow response .Fast speed of processing time is quick speed in processing any information for body functioning.

Thus, the correct option is option(a).

In this economic system, people completely control supply and demand, and the factors of production.
devlian [24]

Answer:

Market

Explanation:

Here are a brief difference between the four systems.

Market : People/the Private sector control the supply/demand along with factors of production

Command : Government control the supply/demand along with factors of production

Mixed : Both the Government and the people control the supply/demand along with factors of production

Traditional : Traditions control the supply/demand along with factors of production

Under the Full market economy, people have the full freedom to determine the outcome in the market. The resources such as land, materials, and   skills will be privately owned and the government has no influence within the market.

One advantage of this system is that the winners of the competition in the market will accumulate high amount of wealth in relatively fast period. But on the downside, lack government involvement often turns the competition dirty and those who hurt other individuals in the process wouldn't receive any repercussions.
