Negative feedback.
Explanation: Thermoregulation is a homeostatic negative-feedback loop — thermoreceptors detect a rise in body temperature and effectors (sweat glands, vasodilation) act to lower temperature back toward the set point. Positive feedback amplifies a change (e.g., oxytocin in childbirth) and "equilibrium" is not the feedback type.
