Identify Selye's definition of stress

Hans Selye, a pioneering endocrinologist known for his work on the effects of stress on the human body, defined stress in 1936 as "the non-specific response of the body to any demand."

Evaluate the given options

• experience: Too broad and not Selye's specific scientific terminology.
• negative threat: Selye emphasized that stress can be caused by both positive (eustress) and negative (distress) factors, so limiting it to "negative threat" is incorrect.
• appraisal: This term is associated with Richard Lazarus's transactional model of stress, not Selye's physiological model.
• demand: This matches Selye's exact definition of stress as the body's response to any demand made upon it.
