Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Empty stomach activatventromedial hypothalamus . An empty stomach activatthe lateral hypothalamus (hunger center), not the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), which signals satiety when full. Choice A is true; cold weather stimulatthe lateral hypothalamus for thermogenic eating. Choice C is correct; low blood sugar drivappetite via hypothalamic glucoreceptors. Choice D is accurate; insulin drops glucose, increasing hunger. is true; exercise burns calories, supporting weight loss. Bs error revershypothalamic rolVMH activation occurs with fullness, not emptiness, as seen in lesion studiwhere VMH damage causovereating. Thus, B is the wrong statement, making it the correct answer.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: They do not distort reality , which is false. Defense mechanisms (e.g., denial, projection) often distort reality to reduce anxiety, per Freudian theory.

Choice A is false; reflexdecrease in sleep. Choice B is incorrect; heart rate drops in Non-REM. Choice D is wrong; three stag(N1, N2, N3) vary N3 is deepest. is false; cerebral blood flow decreasvs. REM. Cs truth growth hormone peaks in deep Non-REM, critical for children contrasts with the physiological errors of A, B, D, E, making it the correct answer.
