Solution

The correct option is B Blood flow decreases in the brain
The blood with oxygen and nutrients rushes into stomach and intestines to carry out the digestion. This concentration of blood in the stomach leaves other parts of our bodies temporarily with less oxygen and nutrients, provoking the sleepy sensation due to the low blood pressure.
So, the correct answer is option B.
