Rhythmic biologic clocks are known to exist in plants, animals, and humans. Circadian rhythms complete a full cycle every 24 hours and in humans affect heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, hormone secretions, and metabolism, as well as performance and mood.

Ans: C
The hypothalamus has control centers for several involuntary activities of the body, one of which concerns sleeping and waking. Injury to the hypothalamus may cause a person to sleep for abnormally long periods.
