Which outcome occurs when peripheral constriction ceases in mammals adapted to arctic conditions experiencing extreme cold?

💡 Explanation

Rapid hypothermia develops with a cessation of peripheral constriction because thermal energy escapes via vasodilation, accelerating heat loss rather than maintaining core temperature. Therefore, the animal spirals towards hypothermia because active heat saving stops, rather than peripheral warming.
