Answer 1

The most relevant response to explain the fluctuation in Jordan and his friend's temperatures is: exercise, age, or environment.

Body temperature can vary due to several factors, including physical activity (exercise), metabolic rate (which can change with age), and environmental conditions (such as being in a warmer or cooler environment).
