Answer: B - The correct order of the three phases of Selye’s general adaptation syndrome is Alarm, Resistance, Exhaustion.
Selye’s general adaptation syndrome is a description of what happens to the body when stress levels are prolonged. According to the model, the body first goes through the Alarm stage where the fight or flight response is active. The next stage, Resistance, is when the body tries to adapt to the stressor. Finally, the third phase, Exhaustion, occurs when stress continues for an extremely long period of time and the body can no longer fight against it. During this stage one may experience disease and damage to internal organs.
