Correct Answer – B
(b) Homeostasis (Gr. Homeos= similar, stasis = standing) is the tendency of maintaining a relatively stable internal physiological environment in an organism, or steady-state equilibrium in a population or ecosysterm. It is carried out by regulatory mechanisms which coordinate internal functions such as providing nutrients to cells and transporting substances.
