Answer:

resistance

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three stages of the general adaptation syndrome as described by Hans Selye. The first stage is the alarm stage, the second stage is the resistance stage, and the third stage is the exhaustion stage. In the resistance stage, the body tries to either adapt to or resist the stressor. Hormonal changes from the alarm stage are still present in this stage with high levels of blood pressure and glucose in the blood. However the stress hormones levels are being normalized, allowing the body to shift from alertness to normalization or repair.
