Answer:

C- She takes insulin for her sugar.

Explanation:

Being submerged in water, increases the oxygen requirement of the body. This causes metabolism rate to increase and the body requires more glucose to drive these compensatory processes involving organs such as the lungs, as well as her muscles. The information about her sugar condition, gives a knowledge of the kind of treatments that should be given and care is taken to avoid administering glucose solutions and gives insight into the required need for insulin when it arises.  

Without this prior information, administering glucose will further distort the metabolic processes in the body as the sugar levels in the body will be increased further than her sugar conditions already will cause.

Split-brain patients have had surgery to cut the
stira [4]
Split-brain patients have had surgery to cut the  corpus callosum. Such a phenomenon was studied and monitored by  two neuroscientists Roger Sperry  and Michael Gazzaniga. After hard operation, patients felt quite good although the expectations weren't that good. Patients could perform all the activities they did before surgery, that was very surprising and innovational. But after several experiments, doctors discovered side effects and got back  to study this process.

Label the cause of infection and some structures involved in fighting the infection.
lesantik [10]
A cause for infection is pathogens entering the body. This is either to a disease that's being transferred from one being to another, or through toxins, wounds, and similar things. Most commonly, when fighting the infection, the body produces white blood cells to combat the infection, which in combination with medication usually defeats the infection.
