The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Brain performs a number of activities like it controls the functions of our organs and also provides qualities of learning, reasoning and memory. For all the activities, brain needs a large and constant supply of energy. The brain accounts for $20\%$ of body's consumption of oxygen and $15\%$ of consumption of blood glucose. If brain is deprived of oxygen for just $5$ minutes, it becomes permanently damaged. Mental confusion occurs if brain is deprived of glucose

Concepts Used:

Neural Control and Coordination

Neural System:

Neurons are the most specialised cells in the nervous system of all animals, and they are responsible for detecting, accepting, and conveying numerous types of motives. The neurological system of low-spinal animals like Hydra is incredibly simple, consisting of a network of neurons. When the brain of an insect comprises a vast number of ganglia and neural tissues, it is optimally structured.

Coordination System:

Coordination is the process by which two or more organs work together to accomplish each other's duties. Increased muscle activity increases the supply of oxygen and the demand for energy while we exercise. When we cease exercising, our nerves, heart, lungs, and kidneys all return to normal. As a result, all of the organs' functions are properly integrated in order to conduct the exercise and supply the appropriate conditions while exercising. Similarly, in the human body, the neurological and endocrine systems work together to coordinate all of the organ activities.
