Answer to Question 1

Ans: C, D, E

Stress is part of our lives from the time we are developing in utero through death. Stress is an ever-present component of our physical and social environments.

Coping can be problem-focused (taking actions to directly work with the event or situation causing the stress) or emotion-focused (finding ways to lessen the feelings of anxiety and angst triggered by the stressful event).
