Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three stages of the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) to stress are alarm (when the body first reacts to a stressor), resistance (when the body attempts to adapt to the stressor through physiological changes), and exhaustion (if stress continues and the body is unable to maintain adaptation, the body's resources become depleted and stress-related illnesses may develop). The correct answer is C, which lists the three stages of GAS as alarm, resistance, and exhaustion.
