Answer: A.it is a relatively new human adaptation.
Explanation:
Fight or flight response is a response shown by a human or animal body towards acute stress. It is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to the perceived attack, survival threat and attack. The animals or humans react to threats by the hormonal secretion from sympathetic nervous system. This prepared animals for fighting. The hormonal secretions like catecholamines, epinephrine and nonepinephrine helps in generation of response. Neurotransmitters dopamine, estrogen, testosteron e and cortisol affects how organisms react to the stress.
Fight-or-flight reaction is not a relatively new human adaptation but it is evolved as a survival mechanism which was also present in primitive human beings and mammals and helped them to react in the life-threatening situations.
Phagocytosis is the ingestion of cells or particles as a defence mechanism when white blood cells (macrophages) engulf foreign matter such as bacteria and viruses or as part of a digestion process in free-living cells such as amoeba.
