Answer:

C. Homeostasis

Explanation:

"Homeostasis" refers to the process of maintaining the body's equilibrium. The body tries to adjust to different stimuli in order to help it function in normal ranges. For example, when a person is exposed to a cold weather all of a sudden,<em> the person starts to shiver in order to maintain homeostasis</em>. <em>Shivering</em> is a contraction of the muscles that <em><u>allows the generation of heat</u></em>.

On the contrary, when a person is exposed to the sun during summer,<em> his body will start to sweat in order to maintain homeostasis</em>. <em>Sweating</em> allows the heat to dissipate from the body thereby lowering the body's temperature.
