"An example" of a "primary appraisal" of a "stressor" is “Humphrey judges "the man" with "the gun" to be a moderate threat”.

Option: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Stress appraisal is a theory in social psychology. This example best suited out of given examples because primary appraisal is the cognitive procedure that takes place when one is evaluating whether an event is stressful and relevant to him or her and this is primary stressor. This is also known as starting points for the stress process. Here, Humphrey made primary stress in his mind regarding a man carrying gun as a moderate threat to him.
