Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trent is most likely in the resistance phase of general adaptation syndrome, as his physical symptoms have disappeared but he is still under stress. In this phase, the body has adapted to the stressor and is trying to cope with it. The exhaustion phase comes later if the stressor continues for too long and the body's resources are depleted. The alarm phase is the first phase, characterized by the initial reaction to the stressor. Accommodation is not a phase of general adaptation syndrome.
