Answer: option D - After eating a large batch of salty popcorn, levels of salt in the urine increase

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of a living organism to ADJUST its internal environment to maintain a stable equilibrium

FOR EXAMPLE: warm-blooded animals like humans allow blood vessels dilate during hot weather, and constrict during cold weather IN ORDER to maintain a constant body temperature.

Thus, after eating a large batch of salty popcorn, levels of salt in the urine increase due to the homeostatic mechanism of the ANTI-DIURETIC HORMONE stimulating reabsorbtion of water from urine, and excretion of excess salt.
