Solution

The correct option is B Claude Bernard
Homeostasis is the state of steady internal conditions maintained by living things. The concept of the regulation of the internal environment was described by French physiologist Claude Bernard in 1865. He wrote, "The stability of the internal environment [the milieu intérieur] is the condition for the free and independent life. The word homeostasis was coined by W. B. Cannon in 1926.
Hence correct option is 'Claude Bernard'.
