Sweating is an example of homeostasis. We sweat, by nature, to keep our body at a stable temperature, which we call homeostasis. As you remember this by the word itself. HomeoSTAYsis. To stay at a certain temperature. Hope this helps! :)

The correct answer is B. Sweating

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeostasis involves processes in living organisms that aim at preserving stable internal conditions, this includes temperature regulation, fluids regulation, glucose, and energy levels, among others. Sweating or perspiration is an example of homeostasis because this mechanism allows mammals to regulate their temperature (thermoregulation). Due to this, in hot weather or conditions humans and other mammals sweat which has a cooling effect on the body and therefore, keeps the temperature stable as part of homeostasis.
