Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "stress" refers to the negative physical and emotional responses that occur when coping abilities are inadequate to meet demands. Thus, option B is the correct choice. Option A ("illness") is not entirely accurate, as a person can experience stress without necessarily becoming ill. Options C ("adrenaline loss") and D ("response fault") are not widely recognized terms in the field of stress research, and do not accurately reflect the concept being described.
