The term for maintaining internal temperature is:
A
Thermoregulation
B
Thermometer
C
Homeothermal
D
Homeostasis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thermoregulation refers to how the body maintains its internal temperature. If your body temperature becomes too cold or hot, it may lead to severe symptoms and even death.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thermoregulation is a mechanism by which mammals maintain body temperature with tightly controlled self-regulation independent of external temperatures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thermoregulation is also called as the heat regulation. Example: Human beings living in a climate of varying temperature and are able to maintain constant body temperature. In both animals and birds, the balance in heat gain and loss is provided by the hair, feathers, and fat skin layers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thermoregulation is how mammals maintain a steady body temperature. Unlike reptiles, which have a body temperature that changes with their environment, mammals need to keep a consistent body temperature all of the time. In humans, the healthy range is within a degree or two of 98.6°F (37°C).

Detailed explanation-5: -Body temperature regulation, also known as thermoregulation, is how an organism keeps its body temperature within certain limits. For humans, the normal body temperature ranges between 36.1°C, or 97 °F, and 37°C, or 98.6°F. When body temperature increases above 38.5° C, or 101.3°F, that’s called hyperthermia.
