Answer:

b. An antihistamine blocks receptors for inflammatory chemicals released from granules within mast cells.

Explanation:

The mast cells situated at the body surfaces are responsible for alerting the immune system when a local infection is detected. This induces the secretion of inflammatory chemicals from granules within the mast cells once activated. Histamine is released which causes the blood vessels to expand and the skin to swell, thereby protecting the body. This leads to the production of symptoms like sneezing and rashes.

This allergic response to the perceived antigen is initiated as a result of the degranulation of the mast cell.

An antihistamine helps in stopping the histamine from affecting the cells in the body by blocking the receptors for the inflammatory chemicals released from granules within mast cells

Why is a key bed used?
Anna11 [10]
In geology, a key bed (syn marker bed) is a relatively thin layer of sedimentary rock that is readily recognized on the basis of either its distinct physical characteristics or fossil content and can be mapped over a very large geographic area.[1] As a result, a key bed is useful for correlating sequences of sedimentary rocks over a large area. Typically, key beds were created as the result of either instantaneous events or (geologically speaking) very short episodes of the widespread deposition of a specific types of sediment. As the result, key beds often can be used for both mapping and correlating sedimentary rocks and dating them. Volcanic ash beds ( and bentonite beds) and impact spherule beds, and specific megaturbidites are types of key beds created by instantaneous events. The widespread accumulation of distinctive sediments over a geologically short period of time have created key beds in the form of peat beds, coal beds, shell beds, marine bands, black  in cyclothems, and oil shales. A well-known example of a key bed is the global layer of iridium-rich impact ejecta that marks the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (K–T boundary). Please let me know if it works.
