Answer 1

The example that shows an organism that cannot reach homeostasis through internal changes is:

A lizard is cold, and it moves to a sunny rock to warm up.

This behavior demonstrates an external response (behavioral thermoregulation) rather than an internal physiological change to maintain homeostasis. The lizard relies on environmental conditions to regulate its body temperature, indicating it does not have an internal mechanism to warm itself.
