a process in which the bodys response to a stimulus decreases the effects of that stimulus.
a process in which the bodys response to a stimulus increases the effects of that stimulus.
a process in which the bodys response to a stimulus has no effect on that stimulus.
a process in which the bodys response to a stimulus cancels out the effects of the original stimulus.
a process in which the bodys response to a stimulus is delayed.

Explanation:

Positive feedback in biology is a mechanism where the body's response to a stimulus amplifies or increases the effects of that stimulus. For example, during childbirth, the release of oxytocin in response to uterine contractions causes more contractions, intensifying the process.
