synthesis
B
regulation
C
respiration
D
digestion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Feedback Regulation: the Process That Underlies Homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some organism are able to maintain homeostasis by physiological (sometimes behavioural also) means which ensure constant body temperature, constant osmotic concentration, etc, are called regulators.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homeostasis is the body’s attempt to maintain a constant and balanced internal environment, which requires persistent monitoring and adjustments as conditions change. Homeostatic regulation is monitored and adjusted by the receptor, the command center, and the effector.

Detailed explanation-5: -Homeostasis, as currently defined, is a self-regulating process by which biological systems maintain stability while adjusting to changing external conditions.
