The answer is (2) maintaining a stable internal environment.

Homeostasis is the process by which an organism tries to stabilise the internal body metabolism in response to external disturbances or changes. Example, when a person goes out into the snow, his body process will get overwhelmed by the sudden drop in the temperature. The body will try to stabilise its internal temperature by producing more heat in response to the cold exterior.

The most likely outcome is that the heavy metal pollutants will BIOACCUMULATE in the oysters. Bioaccumulation refers to the gradual accumulation of substances in living things.

Heavy metals include lead, cobalt, nickel, cadmium and mercury. These metals are highly toxic, thereby their bioaccumulation is dangerous for marine ecosystems and human health.

In this case, it is expected that heavy metals bioaccumulate in the internal organs of the oysters. Subsequently, these pollutants will also bioaccumulate in humans that eat contaminated oysters.

Heavy metals are highly toxic even at low concentrations, thereby their bioaccumulation is harmful to human health.

In humans, for example, it has been shown that the bioaccumulation of heavy metals affects the formation of blood cells.
