The answer is D, sweating.

Homeostasis is where the body uses some mechanisms to maintain a optimum condition for the body to function. These conditions may include body temperature, blood glucose level etc.

Sweating is a mechanism that can help maintain the body temperature. During hot conditions, the sweat glands under the skin surface may produce sweat, which is then released to the skin surface. When the sweat is on the skin surface, they evaporate. During evaporation, heat energy is brought away from the skin as the sweat molecules that have a higher kinetic energy (=temperature) escaped from the sweat drop. The average temperature of the sweat is reduced.

Eventually, the temperature of the body is decreased and this help maintain the suitable temperature for the body to function.

Therefore, your answer is D, sweating.

Over successive generations, moths develop spots that resemble eyes on their wings that scare off predators. this characteristic
Sati [7]
In this example of evolutionary development, we can see a selective advantage.
Developing of new characteristics, in this case, the spots on moth's wings is a part of the process of adaptation of organisms to their environment.
The new characteristics are acquired through mutations and natural selection filters the ones that are the most beneficial for the holder.
For example, a  mutation which results in moths having shorter wings is disadvantageous, because it makes the individual who possesses it less likely to survive and reproduce.
On the other hand, developing of spots that resemble eyes can be advantageous, since it enables the holder of the trait to be more successful and more likely to leave offspring.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Continental crust is typically 40 km (25 miles) thick, while oceanic crust is much thinner, averaging about 6 km (4 miles) in thickness. The effect of the different densities of lithospheric rock can be seen in the different average elevations of continental and oceanic crust.
