Elisa went to a beauty clinic for detox treatment. The doctor suggested her heat therapy. After a preliminary check, she was left in a cabin for heat therapy. The heat therapy made her sweat profusely as she was exposed to heat all over her body inside the cabin. Why did she sweat while undergoing heat therapy?

Sweating is a thermoregulatory reponse, that is, it occurs to compensate heat excess. So, if someone sweats its to decrease its body temperature, at least in humans. Thus, the correct option is the first one, Elisa sweated to regulate her body temperature.
