Answer: Bleeding from a wound

Step-by-step explanation:

Homeostasis refers to the body engaging in processes that will enable it keep a stable internal environment that is necessary for it to survive.

Some processes involved include, maintaining a certain internal temperature that allows enzymes and cells to survive and work, white blood cells attacking harmful bacteria so that they do not negatively affect the workings of the body, and a faster heartbeat to enable more blood supply during physical activity.

Bleeding from a wound is not a homeostatic process. It is simply a reaction to blood vessels being exposed. The homeostatic process related to bleed is Coagulation of blood as it attempts to stop the bleeding.
