Answer 1

The fight or flight response prepares an organism to respond to stress. It is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived threat, triggering a series of changes in the body, such as increased heart rate, heightened senses, and the release of stress hormones, which prime the body to either confront the threat or flee from it.
