Which of the following appears to be the sequence of events associated with resetting one's biological clock?
A)The hypothalamus signals the thalamus, which in turn sends signals to the medial forebrain bundle.
B)The thalamus signals the optic chiasm, which in turn causes a release of the hormone philoxin, which activates the renal gland.
C)The suprachiasmatic nucleus signals the pineal gland, which in turn secretes the hormone melatonin.
D)The superior colliculus signals the thalamus, which stimulates Broca's area.
