← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when overexertion raises a seal's core temperature?
A)Vasodilation aids peripheral convective cooling✓
B)Increased blubber layer retains more heat
C)Shivering generates additional internal heat
D)Metabolic suppression induces regulated hypothermia
💡 Explanation
Vasodilation allows blood to flow closer to the skin surface, because this convective heat-dissipation mechanism cools the seal. Therefore, internal temperature decreases, rather than being maintained/increased, due to insulation or shivering.
