Answer: The answer is A: The Inferior Colliculus

Explanation:

The inferior Colliculi play a major role in hearing. Since the loud noise was what prompted the response it is safe to say the inferior Colliculi is responsible.

Neurons in the inferior Colliculi respond to cues such as intensity, the difference red in arrival of sound to both ears.

However, the head snaps up because the information from the inferior Colliculi is transmitted to the superior Colliculi which is involved with movement such as the head.

Why would a drug that damages capsules help treat a viral infection
ss7ja [257]

Drug that demages capsule is used to treat viral infection because Curing a viral infection  antibiotics are useless against viral infections. This is because viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them. So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.  

Antiviral drugs are currently only effective against a few viral diseases, such as influenza, herpes, hepatitis B and C and HIV – but research is ongoing. A naturally occurring protein, called interferon (which the body produces to help fight viral infections), can now be produced in the laboratory and is used to treat hepatitis C infections.
