Answer:

The correct option is d) arthritis

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, any disorder related to joints or the tissues around them is termed as arthritis. As it relates to joint disorders, arthritis has nothing to do with elevated stress- related hormones. Hence, option d is the correct option.

Other options, like option A is correct because prolonged stress results in hypertension. Diseases such as blood pressure fluctuations or diabetes have also known to be related to prolonged stress conditions.
