Explanation:

During summer when the surrounding temperature is high, we lose water in the form of sweat, direct evaporation considerably. Hence kidneys retain water for maintaining fluidity of the blood and less urine is formed.

But during winter, the surrounding temperature will be very low. There will not be any sweating, no evaporation losses. Moreover to keep the body temperature constant, the blood capillaries in the skin get constricted and the blood pressure is increased. The result is that our body gets warmed up. In order to maintain the blood pressure normal, the excess water along with the wastes is excreted mostly in the form of urine. This is the reason for more urine out put and frequent urination under very cool conditions and in winter.

<span>The vibrations are then sent to three tiny bones in the middle ear: the malleus, incus, and stapes. These bones then amplify the sound vibrations and send them to the cochlea, a snail-shaped structure in the inner ear. The vibrations then cause the fluid inside the cochlea to ripple along the basilar membrane. This ripple stimulates the hair cells that sit on top of the basilar membrane.</span>

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is 4.

Explanation:

1 and 2 are definitely homeostasis because it is a way to keep your body balanced how it needs to be and 3 would be a natural reaction that your body would make to prevent further pain, but 4 would be a personal choice that is made by the person who stays up.
