Which thermoregulatory challenge arises due to disrupted hibernation cycles?

A)Increased non-shivering thermogenesis demand
B)Vasodilation in peripheral blood vessels
C)Suppressed hypothalamic temperature setpoint
D)Reduced brown adipose tissue activity

💡 Explanation

Increased energy consumption appears when awakening early because thermogenesis rapidly activates, and the animal requires much higher metabolic rates when not at a hibernatory depressed level; rather than vasodilation, vasoconstriction occurs during hibernation to conserve core temperature.
