- Option 1: Irritability

- Refers to the ability of an organism to detect and respond to changes in its environment.

- It's a fundamental property of all living organisms but doesn't specifically refer to maintaining a steady state.

- Option 2: Consciousness

- Describes awareness of an organism to its environment and itself.

- More associated with higher cognitive processes than with self-regulation.

- Option 3: Homeostasis

- Involves self-regulation and the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite external changes.

- Ensures optimal functioning of an organism.

- Option 4: Metabolism

- Refers to chemical processes within an organism that sustain life.

- Includes both anabolism (building up) and catabolism (breaking down), but not focused on maintaining stability.
