Understand that physiological responses to stress are automatic bodily reactions controlled by the nervous system, often involving changes in heart rate, breathing, and hormone levels.
Review each option and identify whether it involves a bodily change or a mental/behavioral activity.
Recognize that 'Increased heart rate' is a direct physiological change, as stress activates the sympathetic nervous system, causing the heart to beat faster.
Note that 'Setting new goals,' 'Daydreaming,' and 'Talking with friends' are cognitive or social behaviors, not physiological responses.
Conclude that the correct physiological response to stress among the options is 'Increased heart rate' because it reflects the body's automatic reaction to stress.
