Answer:

C. is unstable, with a short half life

Explanation:

Paracrine hormones are the hormones that act on neighboring cells only. These hormones or chemicals are largely unstable and have a brief life as do not visit the distantly placed target cells. For instance, somatostatin is secreted by D cells of the pancreas. It acts in a paracrine manner and inhibits the discharge of hormones from the neighboring beta and alpha cell.

Likewise, one of the functions of unstable NO gas is to serve as a vasodilator. It is released by epithelium cells and serves to dilate arterioles and relax precapillary sphincters. Then it is degraded.

Answer:

Organisms better adapted to the environment  

Explanation:

According to the evolutionary theory proposed by Charles Darwin in "The Origin of Species" (1859), the fittest organisms are those that are better suited to the environment (i.e., have a higher fitness). These organisms have more chances to survive and reproduce, and thereby they have also more chances to leave their genes in the next generation. This process is the central concept of evolution, and it is called natural selection. In consequence, evolution produces phenotypic changes or 'adaptations' that are inherited by organisms over generations, and certain traits are lost during this process.
