Answer:

According to the GAS model, he is in the "Alarm reaction" phase.

Explanation:

General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) explains how the body responds to stress.

This happens in three phases which are; the alarm reaction phase, resistance phase and exhaustion phase.

The "alarm reaction" phase is the first phase a body under stress undergoes and it is characterized by rapid heartbeats, sweating, release of the stress hormone, cortisol and a rush of adrenaline. It is at this stage the individual experiences the fight or flight feeling.
