D) changing internal environment.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plateau in body temperature after 35-45 minutes of constant-load submaximal exercise indicates that the body has reached a steady state, where the rate of heat production is equal to the rate of heat loss. Homeostasis refers to the ability of the body to maintain stable internal conditions, which is demonstrated in this case by the attainment of a steady state. An effector is a component of a feedback system that produces a response to a stimulus, but it does not apply in this scenario. The internal environment is changing during exercise, but the focus here is on the attainment of a steady state.
