Final answer:
In Selye's stage of resistance, the body tries to adapt to the stressor. It's not an alarm reaction anymore, in fact, the body is trying to manage the stress. This stage does not necessarily lead to chronic stress-related conditions.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) and specifically the stage of resistance. In this stage, the body tries to adapt to the ongoing stressor. This does not result in a full return to a state of homeostasis as the body is still reacting to the stressor. However, it is not an alarm reaction as it represents the phase following initial reaction to stress. The patient is still in stress in this stage but has not necessarily developed chronic stress-related conditions - this is more associated with the third stage or stage of exhaustion if the stressor continues.
