Explanation / Answer

E. Hypothermia

F. Physical features - High fat content in body, Physical fitness, less age, Surface area to body mass is less, maximal vasoconstriction

G. They have very good control of Vasomotor responses which reduce dry heat loss to the environment and Metabolic responses act to replace heat lost to the environment. This person have high blood flow or vasoconstriction even in the cold water. This helps to maintain the body temperature normally.

Metabolic responses - Muscle is generally considered the source of the increased metabolic heat production. Besides generating external force, muscle contractions also result in the liberation of considerable heat.
