Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

Mammals are warm-blooded animals that are they need to maintain the internal temperature irrespective of the external temperature at a constant rate or 37° C.

In cold conditions the person exposing the body parts to cold conditions response either by producing heat or conserving the heat in the body.

If a person removes the gloves, then a physiological change leads to the change in the diameter of the blood vessels. The diameter of the blood vessels reduces which reduces the loss of heat from the body as constriction of the blood vessels decreases the surface area to be exposed to cold conditions.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Advocard [28]

The variables are defined as the factors in an experiment, which are liable to change. The variable can be dependent or independent. The Independent variable is a variable, which is unaffected by the changes in the other variables.

In this case, the brand of the food Shara feeds to the rats is independent factor, but it is changes in the system, so, it is an independent variable.

The effect on the weight of the rat is dependent on the brand of food they are consuming. So, the weight of rats is dependent variable.
