Answer 2

Shivering during cold is beneficial for mammals. It helps to (B) increase body temperature.

• The ability of a living organism to maintain its constant internal body environment such as temperature is called homeostasis.
• When there is cold outside, we start shivering. This is because, the movement of muscles releases heat and hence, body temperature increases.
• Similarly, when there is a high temperature outside, we sweat. This is because sweating gives a cooling effect on the skin due to evaporation.
