Question

which phrase best describes stress? a denial response to pleasure a past emotional trigger a strain on ones body or mind a distressing physical reaction

Explanation:

Stress can manifest as both physical reactions like headaches or muscle - tension (distressing physical reaction) and as a burden on the body or mind (strain on one's body or mind). A past emotional trigger is more about the cause of an emotional response rather than stress itself, and a denial response to pleasure is not related to the concept of stress.

Answer:

A. a distressing physical reaction, B. a strain on one's body or mind
