Answer: option D - cells can't function properly at high temperatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heatstroke is a severe case of abnormally high temperature in the body usually above 40.8°Celsius or 105.1 °Fahrenheit.

Cells function best at a particular physiological tempeature (usually 37°C), above which they malfunction.

Thus, at high temperatures cells can't function properly
