Answer:

The correct answer is exhaustion stage.

Explanation:

The general adaptation syndrome refers to a three-stage procedure, which illustrates the physiological modifications that the body goes through at the time of stress. The three stages of the syndrome are alarm reaction stage, resistance stage and exhaustion stage.  

The exhaustion stage is the outcome of chronic or prolonged stress. Fight with stress for a long duration can drain the emotional, physical, and mental resources to the point where the body no longer exhibit strengths to fight against the stress. Some of the signs of exhaustion are anxiety, fatigue, depression, decreased stress tolerance, and burnout.  

The physical consequences of this stage also weaken the immune system and put one at the threat of stress-associated illnesses and even death. As when is in the exhaustion stage, the long-duration of stress elevates the threat of stroke, chronic high blood pressure, depression, and heart disease.
