The correct answer is **d**.
The statement "As humans age, they become more susceptible to disease and cancer" is not an example of homeostasis. Instead, it describes a change in the body’s overall health and resilience as a function of aging.
The other options (a, b, and c) are examples of homeostasis, which is the body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes.
