Which of the following statements about homeostasis is false?

• A)The more solutes present in a cell, the better it functions. Homeostasis is used to make sure that all available solutes are pumped into cells.
• B)The enzymes that run an organism have evolved to function best under certain conditions. Maintaining homeostasis allows enzymes to function optimally.
• C)High temperatures can cause proteins to unfold. Maintaining a set temperature in an organism through homeostasis prevents this from happening.
