When you feel cold, there are sensors in your skin that tell the brain you need to warm up. The brain sends messages, by way of

B) maintain homeostasis
C) growth and adaptation

MArishka [77]

Your answer should be lakes and forests. Acid precipitation will rot out forests because of the acid content and in lakes it raises the PH balance making it more acidic which in turn makes it harder for anything to live in these lakes or drink from them. (Hope this helps ^-^)
