A
Positive Feedback
B
Negative Feedback
C
Homeostasis
D
Targeted Cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis has become the central unifying concept of physiology and is defined as a self-regulating process by which an organism can maintain internal stability while adjusting to changing external conditions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment. Homeostasis is a term coined to describe the physical and chemical parameters that an organism must maintain to allow proper functioning of its component cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism to maintain the internal environment of the body within limits that allow it to survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homeostasis is the ability of the body to maintain a stable internal environment despite a changing external environment. Homeostasis is maintained primarily through negative feedback, when a response to a stimulus keeps a variable close to a set value.

Detailed explanation-5: -Homeostasis is maintained by a series of control mechanisms functioning at the organ, tissue or cellular level. These control mechanisms include substrate supply, activation or inhibition of individual enzymes and receptors, synthesis and degradation of enzymes, and compartmentalization.
