Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "Sweat glands release water" is a response to heat (to cool the body), so this is incorrect.
• "The heart pumps blood faster" and "Muscles in the chest increase the rate of breathing" are more related to increased activity or oxygen demand, not a direct response to cold for warming organs.
• "Muscles contract and shiver" is a mechanism where muscle contractions generate heat, which helps the body warm up and keep organs warm in cold conditions.

Answer:

A. Muscles contract and shiver.
