d) reactivity.

Answer 1

Answer:

c) eustress.                                  

Explanation:

Eustress: The term eustress is defined as a phenomenon that creates positive feelings of fulfilment, satisfaction, excitement, meaning, and well-being. Eustress is good for the well-being of an individual as it makes a person feel adequate, confident, and stimulated towards the challenges the person experiences from a particular stressor.

Example of Eustress:

1. The death of a spouse.

2. Losing contact with loved ones.

In the question above, Ken's situation is an example of eustress.
