Explanation:

The general adaptation syndrome (GAS) is a well-established model of the body's stress response, which consists of three distinct sequential stages: the alarm stage (initial stress activation), resistance stage (body's attempt to adapt to stress), and exhaustion stage (depletion of resources if stress persists). The other options describe unrelated or incorrect responses not aligned with GAS.

A. alarm, resistance, and exhaustion
