Answer:

D) Pseudomonas

Explanation:

Pseudomonas is the group of gram negative bacteria which are considered opportunistic pathogens. This means that they infect in presence of an already existing ailment like cystic fibrosis. They usually target immuno compromised people.

Normally they are present on soil, water and skin. They are a major cause of hospital acquired infections like sepsis syndrome and ventilator-associated pneumonia. They thrive in moist conditions hence can be found on medical equipment causing cross infections in hospitals. They are resistant to many antibiotics hence the treatment is difficult.

Sever21 [200]

I believe the answer for the above question is exhaustion stage.
Hans selye, described three predictable stages the body uses to respond to stressors, called general adaptation syndrome (GAS). The first stage is alarm stage, which provides burst energy, then the resistance stage where the body attempts to resist or adapt to the stressor, and finally the exhaustion stage. During the resistance stage, the body uses its resources of flight off the stressor. It is not until the next stage, exhaustion, that bodily resources are so depleted that stress-related diseases can develop.
