Answer:

Oxytocin

Explanation:

Positive feedback mechanism is the one by which the changes leads to more changes of same type.

During child birth, the head of the baby is pressed against the cervix which in turn send the nerve impulses to brain. Brain makes the pituitary gland to secrete the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin is released in blood and causes the uterine contraction. As labor continues, more stimulation of cervix and intense uterine contractions lead to more release of oxytocin.

California is home to the largest, tallest, and oldest trees on earth, all of which are gymnosperms.
Gymnosperms are plants that have seeds and are usually coniferous trees. Given that those largest, tallest, and oldest trees are sequoias, this seems to be the correct answer.
