Solution

The correct option is D Stopping of brain activity

Death is the ultimate termination of functional life. It is the most important regulatory process which prevents overcrowding. As all the living organisms are made up of molecules such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, etc., death is also responsible for recycling of materials.

There can be two types of death: biological and clinical. During biological death, the functioning of the brain stops. There are several stages such as palor mortis, rigor mortis, livor mortis, etc. During clinical death, heartbeat, pulse, breathing stops and pulse dilates. Th brain is still functional during this stage. The internal organs, such as kidneys, liver, etc. can be transplanted within the duration of clinical and biological death.
