  • A Radiation
  • B Sweat
  • C Evaporation
  • D Conduction
  • E Convection
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. Sweat.

Sweating is a process primarily associated with cooling the body when the temperature is higher than the body temperature, not when it's lower. The four physical processes involved in body temperature regulation (when the environment is cooler than the body temperature) are radiation, conduction, convection, and evaporation. However, sweating is specifically a mechanism for heat loss in warmer conditions, not cooler ones.
