Question

during the resistance phase of the general adaptation syndrome, which hormone remains elevated to help the body cope with prolonged stress? adrenaline cortisol growth hormone insulin

Explanation:

The general adaptation syndrome's resistance phase involves the body trying to cope with prolonged stress. Cortisol is a hormone that remains elevated during this phase to help the body manage stress by regulating metabolism, reducing inflammation, and supporting the body's stress response. Adrenaline is more associated with the initial alarm phase. Growth hormone is for growth and repair, not primary stress - related in this phase. Insulin regulates blood sugar and is not the main hormone for prolonged stress coping.

Answer:

B. Cortisol
