Answer:
The correct answer is effector
Explanation: In homeostasis, an effector is an organ or molecule that carries out a function in order to restore an internal condition to its original state following a fluctuation. In this case, the skeletal muscles are responsible for producing heat in order to restore body temperature to normal, so they are the effectors of this control system.
