What is a response within a system that influences the activity of that system?
A
Homeostasis
B
Feedback Mechanism
C
Internal Stimulus
D
External Stimulus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -feedback, in biology, a response within a system (molecule, cell, organism, or population) that influences the continued activity or productivity of that system. In essence, it is the control of a biological reaction by the end products of that reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -FEEDBACK RESPONSE LOOP. Homeostatic control systems, like the temperature example above, generally result in Feedback response loops. Feedback response loops start as stimulus that changes a variable and ends with an effector that changes the variable.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is a feedback mechanism? A feedback mechanism is a physiological regulation system in a living body that works to return the body to its normal internal state, or commonly known as homeostasis. In nature, feedback mechanisms can be found in a variety of environments and animal types.

Detailed explanation-4: -Positive feedback mechanisms control self-perpetuating events that can be out of control and do not require continuous adjustment. In positive feedback mechanisms, the original stimulus is promoted rather than negated. Positive feedback increases the deviation from an ideal normal value.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most control systems maintain homeostasis by a process called negative feedback. Negative feedback prevents a physiological variable or a body function from going beyond the normal range. It does this by reversing a physiological variable change (stimulus) once the normal range is exceeded.
