Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) describes the body's physiological response to stress in three distinct stages.
2. Recall the names of the three stages in GAS: the first stage is when the body initially reacts to a stressor, called the Alarm stage.
3. The second stage is when the body attempts to adapt to the ongoing stress, known as the Resistance stage.
4. The third and final stage occurs if the stress continues for a long time and the body's resources are depleted, called the Exhaustion stage.
5. Compare the given options to these stages and identify the one that correctly lists Alarm, Resistance, and Exhaustion as the three stages.
