Answer:

Her body is sweating to maintain homeostasis, which is caused by the action of the sweat glands of the skin, in order to maintain a stable body temperature within acceptable ranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermoregulation is a natural mechanism that allows the body to maintain body temperature. When performing any physical activity, a series of changes are presented and maintaining the balance necessary to be in a stable situation and that the body does not lose is known as homeostasis. In this way, the body compensates for the changes that originate in its environment by exchanging matter and energy with the outside.
