Answer:

Calcitonin

Explanation:

Calcitonin hormone is released by the para follicular cells of the thyroid gland.   This hormone works against the parathyroid hormone.

Calcitonin hormone regulates the level of calcium by decreasing the blood calcium level. This hormone inhibits the osteoclast activity of the cells and decreases the absorption of calcium in pregnant women and child. Hence, calacitonin decreases plasma calcium levels in pregnant women and children.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Explanation:

Some bacteria take nitrate as a source and end up generating an oxide reduction reaction that gives nitrite as a product, if this reaction advances in a chain, that is, the nitrite is reduced after the nitrate, the product in the future would be ammonia
