a

Explanation:

The general adaptation syndrome (GAS) is a stress response model. It has three stages: alarm (initial stress reaction), resistance (attempting to cope with stress), and exhaustion (when stress persists and resources are depleted). Option A matches these stages. Option B's terms (instinct, rapid heartbeat, flight) relate more to the fight - or - flight response, not GAS. Option C's terms (depression, shallow breathing, fight) are not part of GAS.

Answer:

A. alarm, resistance, and exhaustion
