B
by shivering, which is in response to an external stimulus
C
by moving into the sun, which is in response to an internal stimulus
D
by moving into the sun, which is in response to an external stimulus

Explanation

Geckos are reptiles whose body temperature is strongly affected by their surroundings. Cold air is an external stimulus, so a gecko may move into the sun to warm itself. Thus, the best choice is “by moving into the sun, which is in response to an external stimulus.”
