Which outcome occurs when a hibernating mammal's core temperature drops severely, triggering intensive muscle contractions during arousal?

A)Rapid ATP hydrolysis increases body heat
B)Metabolic suppression reduces shivering output
C)Adipose tissue solely provides thermal protection
D)Vasodilation directly conserves core warmth

💡 Explanation

Rapid ATP hydrolysis increases body heat through the mechanism of shivering thermogenesis, because muscle contractions increase metabolic rate and resultant thermal energy; therefore, body temperature elevates, rather than suppressed metabolism or vasodilation achieving warmth differently.
