During the resistance stage, the main goal is to find a way to cope with the stressor to avoid being overwhelmed.

• A. Find a way to cope with stressor to avoid being overwhelmed
• B. Run away from stressor
• C. Stop all activities
• D. Ignore the stressor

Answer: (A)

In this stage, the body shifts from a quick alarm reaction to sustained coping, pulling on resources to deal with the stressor and keep functioning so you don’t become overwhelmed. The focus is on actively finding ways to manage the stress and maintain balance, using strategies, support, and adjusted behavior to handle ongoing demands. That’s why choosing a approach that centers on coping to avoid being overwhelmed best fits this stage. Other options describe avoidance or stopping activity, which isn’t how the resistance stage operates. If coping holds, you stay functional; if the stress keeps pressing, the wear and tear can lead toward exhaustion.
