B. lower overall health

C. improved resistance to future stressors

Explanation:

In the short term, stress makes us angry, anxious, tense, distracted and forgetful. Over time, high levels of stress hormone cortisol have the ability to decrease our physical, mental and emotional health. For this reason, we can state that even in situations where stress is short term, the body suffers some consequences such as lower overall health, as the discharge of hormones that the body suffers can lead to health problems. In addition, short-term stress improves our resistance to future stressors.
