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.

CPR is short for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It’s a life saving medical procedure which is given to someone who is in cardiac arrest. It helps to pump blood around the person's body when their heart can’t. To carry out CPR a person presses up and down on the casualty’s chest (chest compressions<span>) and gives them a series of rescue breaths to help save their life when they are in cardiac arrest. At 6 min, CPR was started with an automated chest compressor at a rate<span> of 200-240/min.

In general, how does biodiversity vary across the biosphere?
Tamiku [17]
Life needs energy, water, heat and nutrients. Reduce the availability of one or more of those things and biodiversity generally decreases.

Tropical forests tend to be more diverse than polar ice caps. However, arctic seas tend to be more biologically interesting than the middle of the Sahara. I bet this is what your homework is looking for but it's important to remember there are counterexamples.
