Answer: C. Prolactin

Prolactin is a hormone that controls milk production together with oxytocin. The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland secretes prolactin and the posterior lobe secretes oxytocin when a baby suckles at the breast. The level of prolactin in the blood slowly increases during pregnancy, and stimulates the growth and development of the mammary tissue, in preparation for the production of milk after delivery.

Moreover, Prolactin is in the highest level in about 30 minutes after the beginning of the feed, which is most important for producing milk for the next feed.

Sometimes new information results in minor changes to a theory. But sometimes new information results in a theory being discarde
seraphim [82]

The Ptolemy's theory of the solar system was disproved by the discovery of the new information. The Ptolemy's theory stated that the Earth is at the center of the solar system and all the planets, suns and stars orbited around it while the Earth stayed completely stationary. However, this theory was proven to be false as the sun-centeric model of the solar system better explained various phenomenon, such as the particular movement of the planets.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Ptolemy's theory of the solar system'.
