Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the face of changes in the external environment. When faced with a disruption, the system attempts to regulate and maintain its internal cohesion, or stability, rather than allowing for system disparity, incoherence, or disjuncture. Therefore, the best choice is D, "system cohesion."
