Answer:

A. negative feedback mechanism

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative feedback implies stimulation towards less change and restoration of the normal state.

A mechanism that serves to decrease the stimulus and bring a system back to homeostasis therefore shall be referred to as a negative feedback mechanism.

This is because homeostasis is the normal state, mechanisms bringing further change to homeostasis can be referred to as positive feedback mechanism and vise versa.
