Answer;

-Gemstones

Gemstones are nonmetallic minerals that are valued for their beauty and rarity rather than their usefulness.

Explanation;

-Most gemstones form in the Earth's crust; the top layer of the Earth, with a depth of 3 to 25 miles. Only two gemstone varieties, diamond and peridot, form in the Earth's mantle, which represents 80% of the Earth's volume.

-A few gemstones form in the mantle, but all gems are mined in the crust. A precious gemstone has beauty, durability, and rarity, whereas a semiprecious gemstone has only one or two of these qualities.

wavelength: wavelength -- a shared orientation leading to mutual understanding; "they are on the same wavelength"

energy: Power that makes machinery work

energy: The physical and mental effort used to do things

Electromagnetic energy is a term used to describe all the different kinds of energies released into space by stars such as the Sun. These kinds of energies include some that you will recognize and some that will sound strange. They include: Radio Waves. TV waves.

Reflection: A reflection shows what something is like

Reflection: The image that reflected from or in something

Refraction: refraction -- the change in direction of a propagating wave (light or sound) when passing from one medium to another

Refraction: deflection, deflexion, refraction -- the amount by which a propagating wave is bent

Absorption: absorption, soaking up -- a process in which one substance permeates another; a fluid permeates or is dissolved by a liquid or solid

Absorption: absorption -- the physical process in which incident radiated energy is retained without reflection or transmission

Absorption: concentration, engrossment, absorption -- complete attention; intense mental effort

Absorption: preoccupation, preoccupancy, absorption, engrossment -- the mental state of being preoccupied by something

Absorption: assimilation, absorption -- the absorbing of one cultural group into harmony with another

Explanation:

When the body requires the increased level of the hormone, target cells increase the synthesis of more receptors on the cell surface of the target organ. This process is known as the up-regulation of the receptors for the hormone.

Up-regulation is an increase in the receptors present on the cell surface of target cells so that cells can easily bind to the hormone. Up-regulation makes the cells increase the sensitivity to a hormone.

Thus, the correct answer is option C up-regulation.
