Practice question
Question
Cold-blooded animals rely on which factor to regulate body temperature?
Explanation
Correct option is C, External environment. In Thermoregulation, the accurate description is External environment, and that is what you should commit to memory. Keep the definition tight and the role clear — External environment is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Thermoregulation. Then External environment is the answer you can defend. Check yourself by covering the options and writing the answer first, then matching the letter — that builds confidence. If the wording feels dense, translate it into everyday language first, then map that plain sentence back onto External environment. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.
