Ashton Morrow · Answer 1

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Response-based stress occurs when a person faces a positive or negative environmental stimulus. It is often associated with threatening situations. In these conditions, the body has physiological reactions such as sweating, and increased heart rate and blood pressure.
