Animals cope with the temperature extremes through a homeostatic mechanism called:
Correct answer: D. Thermoregulation
- A. Evaporative Cooling
- B. Shivering Thermogenesis
- C. Non-shivering Thermogenesis
- D. Thermoregulation
Explanation
The process mentioned in 'A', 'B' and 'C' are partially supportive in temperature maintenance, however thermoregulation is the homeostatic process used in this regard.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
