Answer:A. I only

Step-by-step explanation:

Distress is a negative type of stress

which affect us in a bad way and may result to our body not functioning normal as it does on daily basis.

It usually prevalent when we feel threatened by a situation that we are facing and our body tries to fight or flight in response to that stressful situation.

II: This is incorrect because eustress is not a negative type of stress but a kind of stress which provides us with a motivational challenge. This is one stress that won't make you sad but you will enjoy it as you feel motivated to take on the challenge.for example a strength training workout can be stressful but you can be motivated by the goal to get fit to carry on and enjoy the progress.

III: This is incorrect because neustress is a neutral type of stress. This ocvurs when a stressful situation doesn't really affect us directly or actively. Natural disasters that we see on TV affecting people from other part of the world may be stressful but doesn't really impact us directly because we Rae not involved in these disasters.

Distress = threat

Eustress = challenging

neustress = no real direct stress
