Which of the following is NOT a mechanism to maintain the body's internal temperature?
A) Fluid acts as a coolant by increasing the blood flow from the warm body core to the peripheral tissue, thus cooling the body.
B) Fluid has a high capacity for heat, so it requires a great deal of energy to raise its temperature.
C) Fluid is evaporated as sweat from the skin's surface, thus cooling the body.
D) Warmed fluids from the body's surface return to the body's core, thus heating the body.
