The correct answer is : Negative feedback loop

Explanation:

Remember that is is a reaction that produces a decrease in function. It happens when there is a response to a kind of stimulus. Normally it causes the production of a system to be lessened. In the example the stimuli inhibits the dog's system. In other words, negative feedback loops allow systems to self-stabilize. and it is a vital control mechanism for the body's homeostasis.
