Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Stress is a psychophysiological response.

Explanation

Stress is a term used to refer to a mechanism or reaction to an overwhelming or threatening situation. Stress is considered a psychophysiological response because it directly influences the physical and psychological well-being of the individual. Psychologically, it affects the individual's behavior because it can lead to fatigue, boredom, sadness, frustration, irritability, anger, among others. On the other hand, physiologically stress causes sweating, muscle tension, increased blood pressure, among others as the body prepares to respond to the situation. So, the correct answer is B. Stress is a psychophysiological response.
