Answer:

D. Reflex action triggered by nursing

Step-by-step explanation:

Milk let-down

During the process of feeding the baby , the baby sucks the breast , which triggers the nerves present in the nipples .

The nerves then releases the hormones into the bloodstream of the mother .

The homones released are the prolactine , which helps in the milk - making tissues .

And the other hormone released is the oxytocin , which push out the breast or let down the milk .
