Solution

The correct option is C

Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True and is a correct explanation to [A].


When we have a huge meal, blood flows to the digestive system to digest it. As a result, the rest of the body’s systems (including the brain) can start to feel a slowdown. Think of this as “rest and digest”— the opposite of the “fight or flight” response. We can also redistribute blood flow to areas that need it more through vasodilation, rerouting it from areas that need it less at that point through vasoconstriction. This is one of the reasons we feel tired after a huge meal. A huge amount of blood rushes to supply our gut during digestion.
