Which outcome occurs when birds in arctic regions experience extreme cold despite insulation?

A)Increased metabolic heat production via shivering
B)Reduced blood flow conserves core heat
C)Countercurrent exchange minimizes heat loss
D)Feather erection offers added insulation

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled shivering increases metabolic heat production to compensate for heat loss because shivering stimulates muscle contractions, thereby generating heat and preventing hypothermia; therefore shivering is the correct answer rather than peripheral vasoconstriction without shivering.
