Answer 1

According to the general adaptation syndrome, Saadat is in the alarm reaction phase of the stress response.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the general adaptation syndrome, Saadat is in the alarm reaction phase of the stress response.

The general adaptation syndrome consists of three stages: alarm reaction, stage of resistance, and stage of exhaustion. Saadat's increased heart rate, sweaty palms, and burst of energy are all characteristic of the alarm reaction phase.

In the alarm reaction phase, the body's immediate physiological reactions are triggered when facing a threatening situation, providing the energy to manage the situation, similar to the fight-or-flight response.
