Answer to Question 1

D
Diarrhea is the frequent passage of loose liquid stools. It generally results from increased motility in the colon. This is usually a sign of an underlying disorder. The characteristics of the diarrhea give evidence as to the source. Dark black, tarry stools can mean there is bleeding in the intestines. Bright red blood in the feces indicates active bleeding from the lower portion of the intestinal tract.

Answer to Question 2

C
Yoga therapy is the joining of the mind, body, and spirit to enrich the quality of one's life. Yoga also increases muscle tone and flexibility.
