The answer is A, diffusion
A decrease in the autonomic tone of the smooth muscle in a blood vessel would result in an increase in blood flow through the vessel.
<h3>Meaning of smooth muscle</h3>

I'd say zoology.
Zoology is the study of animals, generally speaking, and since birds are animals, the study of these fall into the field zoology. The study of birds though, is called ornithology.

Large predators are found at higher trophic levels because specialized bodies are needed to extract the small energy that gets to them.
The energy that gets to successive trophic levels decreases progressively because much of it is lost as heat. This means that a small percentage of the energy from the producers that form the bases of trophic levels to the predators that are somewhat at the top of trophic levels.
With big body size, the bodies of predators are organized into systems that work together to efficiently extract the small energy that gets to them from immediate lower trophic level.
