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 the lizard, being ectothermic, relies on external environmental changes (like moving to a sunny spot) to regulate its body temperature, rather than internal physiological changes.
