6 A person becomes infected with a pathogen, such as a virus. What internal stimulus most likely takes place in order for their body to maintain homeostasis?
А
Dehydration due to lack of water
B
Their core temperature increases
с
The production of hormones is activated
D
Sweating occurs to help cool the body down

B. Their core temperature increases.

Explanation:

Pathogens are organisms such as virus, fungi, bacteria, protozoa, worms that causes diseases to its host.

Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.

If a person becomes infected with a pathogen, such as a virus. The internal stimulus that most likely takes place in order for their body to maintain homeostasis is that their core temperature increases. This is because pathogens such as a virus do not thrive or survive in a hot environment; they're naturally allergic to high temperature (heat).

Additionally, in order to reduce pathogens and prevent illness, it is very important to cook our food to high degrees of temperatures. These pathogens are usually destroyed by heat, so it's necessary and important to properly cook food to a high temperature by grilling, boiling, frying, roasting and baking. Also, a hot-holding unit can be used to store food in order to reduce pathogens.
