Solution
The correct option is B Walter cannon
Walter cannon developed the concept of homeostasis from the earlier idea of Claude Bernard and popularized it in his book 'The Wisdom of the Body', 1932. Cannon presented four tentative propositions to describe the general features of homeostasis: 1. Constancy in an open system- Such as our body represent, it requires mechanisms that act to maintain this constancy.2. Steady-state conditions require that any tendency towards change automatically meets with factors that resist change.3. Regulating system that determines the homeostatic state consists of a number of cooperating mechanisms acting simultaneously or successively.4. Homeostasis is the result of organized self-government, it does not occur by chance.
