The answer, clearly, is “B”.
Anyone who has studied thermoregulation in lizards knows they maintain a high body temperature during the day, due to sun basking, positioning their body, raising their bodies off the hot substrate, going into the shade or burrows, etc. Bluefin tuna have the ability with some of their muscles to add heat to their system. Hummingbirds are endotherms, although they do allow their body temperatures to fall during the night. Honeybees in a hive can maintain a pretty constant temperature by increasing movement of air with their wings, or even using evaporative water procedures. In the winter, the center of the bee colony can be quite warm because of the congregation of bees in a group.
The sea star is an intertidal organism. It is at the mercy of the tides, and inhabits sandy tidepools…usually under rocks. It has few options to change it’s body temperature versus that of the substrates it is in contact with.
