Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) describes the body's short-term and long-term reactions to stress, consisting of three main stages: Alarm, Resistance, and Exhaustion.
Identify the characteristics of each stage: the Alarm stage involves the initial reaction to stress, the Resistance stage involves the body's adaptation to the stressor, and the Exhaustion stage occurs when the body's resources are depleted.
Recognize that fatigue is a symptom of the body's resources being drained, which aligns with the Exhaustion stage.
Eliminate the options that do not correspond to fatigue: Recovery is not part of the original GAS stages, Alarm is the initial reaction, and Resistance is the adaptation phase where the body tries to cope.
Conclude that the stage characterized by fatigue is the Exhaustion stage, where prolonged stress leads to decreased function and energy.
