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 is because lizards are ectothermic (cold-blooded) and rely on external environmental factors to regulate their body temperature, rather than internal physiological changes. The other examples involve internal responses to maintain homeostasis.
