← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when shivering thermogenesis efficiency drops sharply?
A)Endothermy reduces heat loss rapidly
B)Circadian rhythm resets to baseline
C)Hypothermia develops due to energy deficit✓
D)Vasodilation warms extremities effectively
💡 Explanation
Hypothermia develops because ineffective shivering increases metabolic demands without commensurate heat production; the lack of thermoregulation via shivering causes dangerous energy deficit, therefore, leading to hypothermia, rather than rhythmic stability or vasodilation-driven warming.
