Which outcome occurs when a basking sea lion experiences overheating during rest?

A)Peripheral vasodilation reduces core temperature
B)Increased metabolism generates more ATP
C)Blubber insulation prevents heat dissipation
D)Brown fat activation enhances shivering rates

💡 Explanation

Peripheral vasodilation causes heat loss from the skin because vasodilation increases blood flow to the surface allowing radiation and convection to cool the blood; therefore, body temperature stabilizes rather than rising as skin radiates stored heat.
