Answer 1

Answer:

B) receptor, integrating (control), effector organ

Explanation:

Homeostasis is tendency of an organism to maintain stable internal environment by responding to internal and external changes. It involves positive and negative feedback systems. Three main components  of the homeostatic control system are:

• sensors (receptors) which detect the change and send information to the next component, center
• control center (usually in brain) which receives the signal process it  and activate the next component, efffector
• effectors (usually muscles and glands) which respond to stimuli (the change).
