Explanation:

To determine which is not a definition of "stress", we analyze each option:

• The first option describes stress as the body’s response to demands, which is a valid definition.
• The second option, "Simple elegance or refinement of movement", is related to terms like "grace" and has no connection to the concept of stress (which involves psychological/physical strain or response to pressure).
• The third option defines stress as a change causing physical/emotional/psychological strain, which is correct.
• The fourth option defines stress as the feeling of being overwhelmed by mental/emotional pressure, which is also correct.
