Julissa Flores · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment. This is achieved through various feedback mechanisms that help the body adjust its systems and functions to maintain a state of balance or equilibrium. Neither equity nor catharsis nor homogeneity deals with the body's tendency to maintain such equilibrium.
