Answer:

B. Cellular transport

Step-by-step explanation:

A good example of an organism attempting to maintain homeostasis is body temperature in warmblooded animals such as humans. The human body constantly works to maintain temperature homeostasis despite the external weather. This is why people sweat when it's hot and shiver when it's cold.

Cells also employ special techniques to maintain homeostasis. Cellular transport is a primary way that cells maintain internal stability. Most often, cellular transport involves moving liquids, molecules, proteins, ions, and other solutes into and out of the cell.
