Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homeostasis refers to dynamic constancy of the internal environment. While it is true that positive feedback can play a role in maintaining homeostasis in certain situations, it is primarily maintained by negative feedback mechanisms that work to counteract any changes that may disrupt the body's internal balance. Therefore, choice D is incorrect and choice E is partially correct but not the best choice.
