    Answer:stage 2, namely Resistance stage

    Explanation:

    When someone has passed the initial stage of being shocked by a stressful situation the body will try to restore it original state. This is when a hormone which is called cortisol is released which will begin to lower down the heart rate and blood pressure. The body is still alert but continues to work towards reaching a balanced state and if the stressors are removed it will return back to its normal state.

    If the stress is not resolved after the body has tried to fight for restoration the person will go to the exhaustion stage when someone will be suffering real consequences of stress such as depression.
