c is my answer
I think you're right, but check your text.
Actually, the correct answer is d) a nonspecific response of the body to any demand made upon it.
Hans Selye, a prominent stress researcher, defined stress as a nonspecific response of the body to any demand made upon it. This means that stress is not limited to a specific type of demand or threat, but rather a general physiological and psychological response that the body goes through when faced with any kind of demand, whether it is physical, emotional, or cognitive.
To arrive at this answer, you would need to understand the concept of stress and be familiar with Hans Selye's definition. This knowledge can be obtained through reading books, articles, or research papers on the topic of stress, as well as studying the work of Hans Selye and his contributions to stress research. Additionally, attending lectures, taking courses, or discussing the topic with experts in the field can also provide a deeper understanding of the subject.
