Answer:

The correct answer is ''the sympathetic nervous system is activated and adrenal glands release hormones''

Step-by-step explanation:

The general adaptation syndrome is a theory based on the observation of human behavior in various stress situations and the generalized and the nonspecific activation response that affects the whole organism, which appears in any stress situation. The body responds to imminent danger in three stages: alarm, resistance and exhaustion. At the physiological level, in the alarm stage two systems are activated: the neural and the neuroendocrine. This phase appears immediately after the threat. Different hormones are released: adrenaline, corticotropin and corticosteroids, to improve our performance temporarily.
