Answer to Question 1

A
In a general adaptation syndrome, prolonged exposure to stress leads to the stage of exhaustion at which time the body's compensatory mechanisms no longer function effectively and diseases of adaptation occur. A decreased immune response is seen at this stage.

Answer to Question 2

D
During the stage of exhaustion of the general adaptation syndrome, the individual loses the capacity to adapt effectively because physiological and psychological resources have become depleted. This is the time when diseases of adaptation may occur.
