Negative feedback loops work to counteract changes and restore the body to its normal, stable state (set point). For example, when body temperature rises, mechanisms like sweating are activated to cool the body down and bring it back to the stable temperature (set point). The second option describes positive feedback (e.g., in childbirth where contractions get stronger to move the process forward, moving the body further from the initial state).
