A
Sweating
B
Cellular respiration
C
Movement

Conduction, convection and radiation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evaporation and conduction of the air are accelerated by convection. When the temperature of the environment becomes greater than that of the skin, the body gains heat by both conduction and radiation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Turns out there are four methods for body heat loss: radiation, conduction, convection and evaporation.

Detailed explanation-3: -It takes energy to evaporate sweat off of your skin, and that energy is heat. As your excess body heat is used to convert beads of sweat into vapor, you start to cool down.
