B. smiling when you are happy

This is not an action that is controlled by the process of homeostasis in the body. Homeostasis is the process which is responsible for regulating the the internal environment of the body.
for instance, you go to the bathroom when your kidneys want to eliminate excess water and other substances.
Your lungs need more air when you are exercising so homeostasis is responsible of seeing that you get enough of it.
and sweating when you are hot to remove excess heat from your body via sweat.
These are all involuntary actions controlled by the process of homeostasis.
Smiling is a voluntary action. you do not need to smile. and you can whenever you like and not when you don't.

Answer from: Quest

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
