- B. Natural health
- C. Strucutral adaptation
- D. Osmoregulation
Explanation
Homeostasis is the tendency of an organism or cell to regulate its internal conditions, such as the chemical composition of its body fluids to maintain health and functioning.

About Thermoregulation
Thermoregulation maintains body temperature through negative feedback controlled mainly by the hypothalamus. It covers vasodilation and vasoconstriction, sweating, shivering, changes in metabolic heat production and behavioural responses, while distinguishing heat loss by radiation, conduction, convection and evaporation from temperature regulation itself.
