Solution

The correct option is D Hypothalamus
Thermoregulation is the process that allows the human body to maintain its core internal temperature. A section of the brain called the hypothalamus controls thermoregulation. It issues instructions to muscles, organs, glands, and nervous system when it senses the core internal temperature is becoming too low or too high.
