Answer:

The correct answer is- General adaptation syndrome

Step-by-step explanation:

General adaptation syndrome describes the physiological change that occurs in our body during the stress condition. It has three stages which are alarm, resistance, and exhaustion.

The first stage is the alarm stage in which stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol release in blood which initiate a response of fight and flight in the body.

The second stage is the resistant stage in which the body starts repairing and cope up with stress but the body remains alert until the stress remains. The sign of resistant stage include frustration, poor concentration, etc.

If stress remains then resistant stage leads to the exhaustion stage where our body has no strength to fight against stress which leads to fatigue anxiety, depression, etc.
