Question

Homeostasis is the body’s natural tendency to
maintain internal balance.
match the outside environment.
fluctuate with stimuli.
change slowly over time.

Answer 1

Correct answer: maintain internal balance.

Explanation: Homeostasis is the process by which the body keeps internal conditions (temperature, pH, glucose, salt levels, etc.) relatively stable despite changes in the external environment. It does not mean matching the outside environment, merely fluctuating with stimuli, or changing slowly over time.
