Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Living in a small dormitory room with two roommates can be a stressful situation that may lead to elevated blood pressure. This is a common response of the body's fight or flight response to a perceived threat or stressor. A reduced blood cholesterol level (A) and an increase in the production of lymphocytes (B) are not directly related to this type of stress. A decrease in blood-clotting speed (C) may occur in some stress responses, but it is not a typical or necessary bodily response in this situation.
