Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is exhaustion. This stage is part of the general adaptation syndrome model proposed by Hans Selye, which describes the body's response to stress in three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. In the exhaustion stage, the body's ability to resist stress has been depleted, leading to potential illness or death if equilibrium is not restored.
