Solution

The correct option is D Homeothermic
  • Homeothermy or homeothermy is thermoregulation that maintains a stable internal body temperature regardless of external influence.
  • Hypothalamus is the built-in thermostat present in the homeothermic animal's body.
  • The hypothalamus controls the body's responses to the outside temperature. When you get hot, you sweat.
  • Hence Animals with built-in thermostat are Homeothermic.
