Correct Answer: loss of heat from the body


Solution : The correct answer is  loss of heat from the body.

The subcutaneous fat layer, often known as adipose tissue, has various critical roles, one of which is thermoregulation. It acts as an insulator, assisting in the retention of body heat and the maintenance of a steady internal body temperature. Thicker subcutaneous fat can help to keep the body warm in colder conditions by providing greater insulation against cold temperatures and reducing heat loss.
