Answer:

The correct answer is: D. Hunger is triggered by a set of sugar receptors, located in the brain, when sugar levels fall too low.

Explanation:

Low sugar level is caused by the lack of glucose in blood and it sends a message to stimulate hunger on a person's body in order to increase the sugar intake by eating. Starvation can cause hypoglycemia, which may produce confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures and even death.
