The emergence of an evolutionary adaptation is not an example of the body maintaining homeostasis. Homeostasis refers to the processes by which a body maintains stable internal conditions (such as temperature, pH, and concentration of ions) despite external changes. The other options provided—red blood cells delivering oxygen, insulin production in the pancreas, and lungs absorbing oxygen—are all mechanisms by which the body maintains homeostasis.
