Answer

modifying the external environment
B
maintaining a stable internal environment
C
controlling what enters and exits the cell
D
movement of materials into the cell

Explanation

Homeostasis is the process of keeping conditions inside an organism stable, even when the external environment changes. Therefore, the best definition is “maintaining a stable internal environment.” Controlling what enters and exits a cell can help maintain homeostasis, but it is not the definition itself.
