Question

A person sweats and becomes flushed while exercising to

B) keep the heat in the core or center of the body.

Sweating and flushing are mechanisms the body uses to lose heat during exercise. By sweating, the body cools itself through evaporation, and by flushing, blood vessels dilate to increase blood flow to the skin's surface, allowing excess heat to dissipate.
