The correct answer would be, Protein Degradation.

Ruben's recover will be extensive, he is at increased risk of Protein Degradation effect of prolonged elevated cortisol.

Explanation:

Cortisol is a steroid hormone which is responsible for managing wide range of processes within the body. The processes may include the metabolism, immune responses and the role in helping the body to respond to the stress. With the prolonged elevated cortisol, the risk of increased Protein Degradation is associated.

Protein Degradation is responsible for regulating the Cell Functions. These functions may include the following:

  • Removal of misfolded proteins
  • Cell growth
  • Cell Division
  • DNA repair
  • Immune Responses
  • Stress Responses, etc.

So due to the burns, Ruben elicited stress response, which increased the risk of protein degradation of the prolonged elevated cortisol.
