Solution

The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS), proposed by Hans Selye, consists of three stages: 1. Presence of a noxious stimulus (B): The stressor is identified. 2. Alarm Reaction (C): The body responds to the stressor with an initial alarm reaction, activating the fight-or-flight response. 3. Resistance (A): The body attempts to adapt to the stressor and cope with it. 4. Exhaustion (D): Prolonged exposure to the stressor leads to depletion of resources, resulting in exhaustion and decreased resistance.
