Efferent responses during cold exposure include all EXCEPT:
Sweating (D) is the right choice. This sits at the heart of Thermoregulation: the wording points straight to what is happening in the tissue or organ system. A useful study habit is to ask what the structure or process is for: the stem is asking for the statement that does not fit the usual rule, and Sweating is that exception in the context of Thermoregulation. That reasoning supports Sweating. One solid sentence about why this works is enough for recall — you do not need a long essay for every MCQ. When you practise, cover the choices first, write Sweating from memory, then reveal the letter — that habit builds real recall for Thermoregulation.
