Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prolonged stress can lead to heightened physiological arousal, which can weaken the immune system and lead to physical health problems. While A and B are both possible outcomes of stress, there is no information to suggest that Michael is experiencing either of these specifically. D is an extreme outcome and there is no evidence to suggest that Michael is at risk for suicide at this time.
