\todd, who has been under a lot of stress lately, experiences a heart attack at his workplace. according to the general adaptation syndrome (gas), todd's body is most likely in the alarm stage. exhaustion stage. secondary stage. resistance stage.

The correct answer is exhaustion stage.

The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) is a model proposed by Hans Selye which tries to describe the mechanisms participating in the body's response to stress. It is comprised of three stages; the alarm, the resistance and the exhaustion stage.

The exhaustion stage refers to the effect of chronic stress. When someone is exposed to stressful situations for a prolonged period of time, then the body ends up exhausted. In addition, responses such as an increase in the heart rate and pressure could result in a heart attack.
