$II.$ Allen's rule explains adaptations in mammals living in colder climates.
$III.$ Altitude sickness is caused because the body does not get enough oxygen due to low atmospheric pressure at high altitudes.

$A$ regulators are able to maintain homeostasis by means which ensure constant body temperature,constant osmotic concentration,etc. All $B$ and $C$ and a very few lower vertebrate and invertebrate species are indeed capable of such regulation (thermoregulation and osmoregulation).
Evolutionary biologists believe that the 'success' of mammals is largely due to their ability to maintain a constant body $D$ and thrive whether they live in Antarctica or in the Sahara desert.
