Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Positive feedback loops amplify or increase the occurrence of events and are useful in processes that need to be pushed to completion, such as childbirth. Once labor begins, contractions increase in intensity and frequency, leading to the birth of the baby, which is the definite cutoff point.
