Answer:

d. threat-challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

A stressful situation is the one that triggers a cascade of hormones, this is also known as the fight or flight response. A stressor is a stimulus that causes stress, depending on the possible consequences the individual can see it as a threat (likely to cause damage) or a challenge (a stimulating situation with a possible reward).

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
