a - the management and board of directors of the targeted firm disapprove of the proposed merger

Explanation:

A hostile takeover is a situation where the board of directors and senior managers are against the proposed merger.

There are several pre-offer takeover defense mechanisms. One of them is the golden parachute.

The golden parachute is a compensation agreement between a firm and its senior managers. The firm promises a very lucrative amount of money if the senior managers leave the firm if there's a change of control.

There are also post offer takeover defense. They include:

A. The crown jewel - in a crown jewel the firm sells off a subsidiary or an asset to a third party in an effort to mitigate the hostile take over.

B. Greenmail - the target buys its shares back from the acquiring company at a price higher than the market price. This is done with an agreement that the acquirer leaves the target company. It is a form of payoff by the target company.

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'

the answer is true.  i do believe this is the answer because of the amount of wrecks people get into each year.  if you double this with avoiding those so said wrecks, that would make you a "skilled" driver.
