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.

The hormone that is releases continusoly in this stage by the zona fasciculata layer of adrenal cortex is cortisol to maintain arousal.

In abscence of enough blood sugar or glucose in the body, the body initiates breakdown of the glycogen (stored sugar in muscles mosty) with the help of hormone known as glucagon to covert it to glucose so that it can be used by the cellular respiration.
