Question

when jennifer, a white female, enters a gas station with all male customers inside, she may experience increased levels of:
○ cortisol.
○ oxytocin.
○ gaba.
○ ach.

Explanation:

Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress or perceived social threat. Being the only female in a space of all male customers could create a stressful, uncomfortable situation that triggers increased cortisol production. Oxytocin is linked to bonding, GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter reducing anxiety, and ACh (acetylcholine) is involved in muscle control and memory, none of which align with this stress response scenario.

Answer:

A. cortisol.
