It's A
The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system,[8] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus. As core temperature varies from the set point, endocrine production initiates control mechanisms to increase or decrease energy production/dissipation as needed to return the temperature toward the set point

Anterior Nucleus: Thermo regulation by dissipating heat (parasympathetic system)
Posterior Nucleus: Thermo-Regulation by conservation of heat (sympathetic system)
So i guess Posterio Nucleus ? but i see "posterior lateral nucleus" instead of poster nucleus.
