Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saadat is in the alarm phase of the stress response, which is characterized by the release of stress hormones and activation of the sympathetic nervous system. This phase prepares the body for fight or flight response to a perceived threat. Saadat's increased heart rate and sweaty palms are typical symptoms of the alarm phase. The other options are not part of the general adaptation syndrome.
