Answer:

D. Hypothalamus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our internal body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus, a part of our brain that checks our current temperature and compares it to the "normal temperature" of what our body should be. If our temperature is too low, the hypothalamus makes sure our body generates heat.
