Answer 1

The stage of stress during which the body adapts to the ongoing presence of the stressor is called the resistance stage. This is part of Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome, which includes three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. During the resistance stage, the body tries to manage and cope with the stressor, keeping physiological responses activated, but attempting to return to a state of balance.
