Which effect results when dolphins enter warmer waters after prolonged exposure to freezing seas which triggers increased subcutaneous vasodilation?

A)Peripheral heat loss accelerates rapidly
B)Endothermy increases reducing heat transfer
C)Countercurrent exchange optimizes core retention
D)Shivering intensifies, generating additional warmth

💡 Explanation

Heat loss accelerates because vasodilation increases blood flow to the skin surface to modulate internal temperature; therefore, core heat can be rapidly dissipated rather than conserved when in warmer conditions and arteries are expanded.
