Solution
The correct option is C Maintenance of homeostasis
Although not at equilibrium with their surroundings, adult organism generally exist in a steady state. A constant influx of fuel and nutrients and a constant release of energy and waste products allow the organism to maintain a constant composition. When the steady state is disturbed by some change in the external circumstances or fuel supply, the temporary altered fluxes through individual metabolic pathways triggers regulatory mechanisms to return the organism to steady state i.e., to achieve homeostasis. In higher animals blood plays a very important role in maintenance of homeostasis. One example is regulation of electrolyte balance like sodium and potassium ions and consequently water content So, the correct answer is 'Maintenance of homeostasis'
