Answer:

threat

Step-by-step explanation:

In psychology, threat is a perceived feeling that an individual has when faced with a situation, whereby they feel they do no have enough coping ability to handle the situation which seem like an obstacle.

Threat is the opposite of a challenge. When someone is faced with a situation, if he sees it as experiencing a challenge, he believes he has the ability to develop coping mechanisms to handle the situation, unlike when one perceives a threat.

From the information given about Felicity in the question above, the category of psychological stress she was experiencing is threat.
