Answer 2

The correct answer is letter D

Coping is researched, above all, in relation to stress, being defined as “attempt or effort to deal with external (from the environment) or internal (from the subject's) demands perceived as overloading or exceeding the person's resources.”

Stressful events happen all the time in our lives: they are small daily setbacks, such as the long line at the bank, the flow of traffic interrupted close to home, the child's low grade at school etc. Also stressful are positive events, such as the meeting, on the night of carnival, of a loving partner, the news of the approval of his son in the entrance exam, a sexual relationship of intense and ardent delivery, an unexpected compliment from the workmate.  These stressful events give rise to coping.
