Option D is very much correct b/c homeostatis main function is to regulate flunctuations in temperature, in heart beat e.t.c. So since you can only shiver when your temperature is rising so as to decrease the temperature. It is then correct

I wanted to say, since you can only shiver in cold environments, to increase ur temperature so u don't get frozen. Then option D is corect

The question is which of this is a homeostatic response, referring to homeostasis which only deals in temperature regulation within humans !!!
Pls take note that there are different reaction to stimulus

i thought it would be A because withdrawing hand from something hot is not a reflex action
