Which outcome occurs when arctic foxes enter torpor?

A)Uncontrollable whole-body shivering diminishes
B)Vasodilation actively generates heat loss
C)Insulation fat layer rapidly depletes
D)Metabolic rate remains near euthermic levels

💡 Explanation

During torpor, the body temperature drops, lowering metabolic demands that require constant heat production; shivering diminishes because ATP demand falls; therefore, uncontrolled shivering decreases significantly rather than generating more heat.
