Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homeostasis is the state of balance or equilibrium maintained by the body through various physiological mechanisms. It ensures that the internal environment of the body remains stable, despite changes in external conditions. Option A (antithesis) is a rhetorical device in which two contrasting ideas are presented in a parallel manner. Option B (polystasis) is not a commonly used term in biology or physiology. Option D (heterogenesis) refers to the theory that living organisms can arise spontaneously from non-living matter.
