As we have already discussed in Responses to Abiotic Factors: Regulate & Conform -

The regulation mechanism -

The mechanisms used by most mammals to regulate their body temperature are similar to the ones that we humans use. We maintain a constant body temperature of 37oC.

- wherein

In summer, when outside temperature is more than our body temperature, we sweat profusely. The resulting evaporative cooling, similar to what happens with a desert cooler in operation, brings down the body temperature. In winter when the temperature is much lower than 37oC, we start to shiver, a kind of exercise which produces heat and raises the body temperature.

Hence, the correct option is (b).
