The correct answer is "stressor." Any event or situation that causes stress is called a stressor.
The correct answer is "stressor."
A stressor refers to any event or situation that causes stress in an individual. It can be a variety of things such as job pressure, relationship issues, financial concerns, or even a traumatic event. When faced with a stressor, your mind and body may react in different ways, resulting in feelings of tension and anxiety.
To arrive at the answer, you can use your prior knowledge of stress-related terminology. Understanding that a stressor is something that causes stress and filtering out the other options, such as eustress (which is a type of positive stress) or catastrophe (which is a severe and sudden event resulting in massive distress), leads us to the correct answer "stressor." Mental rehearsal is not applicable to this question as it refers to a technique used to mentally practice a task or situation.
