Answer:

Acute stress

Step-by-step explanation:

The most prevalent type of stress is acute stress. It emerges from latest prior needs and stresses and also expected near-future needs and stresses.

It is encountered as a physical, mental or psychological direct potential danger.

The autonomic nervous system is triggered during the stress response and the body undergoes elevated concentrations of adrenaline and other hormones resulting in enhanced respiration, and enhanced heart rate.
