Answer:

D. Resistance stage .

Step-by-step explanation:

In resistance stage (stage 2 ) body tries to become balanced ( new level of homeostasis occurs ) .

General adaptation syndrome is a three stage process which explain the physiological chnages in the body occuring during stress.

There are three stages of stress :

1) Alarm stage (fight or flight stage) : It is the stage of stress in which the heart beats faster sending more blood to the armas and legs thus helping the peron to fight or flight.

2) Resistance stage : It is a stage in general adaptation syndrome where the body tries to become balanced ( new level of homeostasis occurs ) . In this situation one thinks that one can handle stress symptoms.

3) Exhaustion stage : It is the stage of stress resulting from chronic or prolonged stress. It can drain mental , physical and emotional resources to the point where your body no longer has the strength to fight against the stress. I t is a sort of give up situation.

Hence the correct choice is D) Resistance stage.
