Solution

The correct option is D Hypothalamus
The control of body temperature takes place in the central nervous system at different levels, from the spinal cord to the upper parts of the brain. The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus. It does this by triggering changes to effectors, such as sweat glands and muscles controlling body hair. Heat stroke can happen when the body becomes too hot; and hypothermia when the body becomes too cold.
So, the correct answer is option C.
