Answer:

a) After plunging into icy-cold water, Gary's core body temperature rapidly drops.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process by which our bodies find and reach equilibrium, could be physical or chemical, when you get into icy-cold water, for there to be homeostasis your body should get hotter in order to keep its normal temperature, but often the body tempereature just drops because there´s not much the vody can do against that.
