Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nervous system is responsible for detecting both changes in the external environment (such as temperature, sound, and light) and changes in the internal environment (such as hormone levels, blood glucose levels, and blood pressure). It then evaluates these changes and coordinates an appropriate response. Therefore, choice D is the best answer as it accurately reflects all the functions of the nervous system.
