The correct response that exemplifies positive feedback, which indirectly helps maintain homeostasis, is:

the chemical reactions involved in blood clotting.

Positive feedback mechanisms amplify a response to achieve a specific outcome, and in this case, the clotting process accelerates until the bleeding stops, thereby helping to restore homeostasis in the body.
