Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fight-or-flight response is associated with an activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which leads to an increase in heart rate and breathing to prepare the body for action. At the same time, digestion is reduced to conserve energy for the immediate response. Therefore, B is the best choice as it includes an acceleration in breathing and heart rate and a reduction in digestive processes. The other options do not accurately describe the typical fight-or-flight response.
