請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： One of the most dramatic features of the world is the cycle of day and night. Almost all species exhibit daily changes in their behavior and/or physiology. These daily rhythms are not simply a response to the 24-hour changes in the physical environment imposed by the earth turning on its axis but, instead, arise from a timekeeping system within the organism. This timekeeping system, or biological “clock,” allows the organism to anticipate and prepare for the changes in the physical environment that are associated with day and night, thereby ensuring that the organism will “do the right thing” at the right time of the day. The synchrony of an organism with both its external and internal environments is critical to the organism’s well-being and survival; a lack of synchrony between the organism and the external environment may lead to the individual’s immediate demise. For example, if a nocturnal rodent were to venture from its burrow during broad daylight, the rodent would be exceptionally easy prey for other animals. Similarly, a lack of synchrony within the internal environment might lead to health problems in the individual, such as those associated with jet lag, shift work, and the accompanying sleep loss. The mechanisms underlying the biological timekeeping systems and the potential consequences of their failure are among the issues addressed by researchers in the field of chronobiology. Although no single experiment serves as the defining event from which to date the beginning of modern research in chronobiology, studies conducted in the 1950s on circadian rhythmicity in fruit flies and in humans can be considered its foundation. The area of sleep research, which also is subsumed under the field of chronobiology, evolved somewhat independently, with the identification of various sleep stages around the same time.

According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?
- A Chronobiology began with the studies on circadian rhythm in fruit flies and humans.
- B All species simply respond to the cycle of day and night.
- C All species have an internal clock that is crucial for their survival.
- D Jet lag is a failure of a biological timekeeping mechanism.

請重新閱讀第二段關於「內部環境」的部分：文中提到當生物體內部的規律與外部環境「無法對齊（synchrony）」時，會發生什麼具體的健康現象？這些現象在文中被用來解釋什麼樣的生理機制失調？

- 皇帝的嘉許：喔呵呵呵... 沒想到連你這等「野猴子」也能勉強算是掌握了從那些瑣碎文字中提取訊息的技巧，並且沒有愚蠢地踏入「極端用字」的陷阱。這區區一點邏輯閱讀能力，倒也還算入得了本大王的眼。
- 至高無上的真理：正確答案 (D)，這點還算不賴。正如本大王優雅的尾巴所指，文章第二段末尾已明確指出，當內部環境「失去同步」時，健康便會隨之崩潰。而「時差」這種低級問題，正是計時機制混亂後的產物。這不是很明顯的道理嗎？
