Explanation:

To determine the best definition of homeostasis, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system, not the definition of homeostasis.
• Option B: The fight - or - flight response is a physiological reaction to stress, not homeostasis.
• Option C: Stressors or changes in the environment are what organisms respond to, not the definition of homeostasis.
• Option D: Homeostasis is defined as the stable internal conditions that organisms maintain, such as a stable body temperature or blood glucose level.

Answer:

D. The stable internal conditions organisms maintain
