African elephants flap their large ears to cool off. Which biology theme does this phenomenon represent?

Stimulus. The elephant gets hot and so internal stimuli lie respond by finding ways to cool it down, in this case, flapping their ears.

It's energy transfer, the blood circulates through the ears as they flap which keeps the animal cool.
