what is negative feedback?
a process in which the bodys response to a stimulus increases the effects of that stimulus.
a process in which the bodys response to a stimulus delays the effects of that stimulus.
a process in which the bodys response to a stimulus amplifies the effects of that stimulus.
a process in which the bodys response to a stimulus reduces the effects of that stimulus.
a process in which the bodys response to a stimulus has no effect on the effects of that stimulus.

Explanation:

Negative feedback is a regulatory mechanism in biology. It works to counter - act changes and maintain homeostasis. When a stimulus causes a change in the body, the negative - feedback response acts to reduce or oppose that change, bringing the body back to a stable state.

A process in which the body's response to a stimulus reduces the effects of that stimulus.
