Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: A) Incorrect. An enactive strategy is one in which the individual creates a new environment that does not contain the stressor (e.g., changing careers to avoid stressful job situations).
B) Incorrect. A proactive strategy is one in which the individual initiates actions that resist the negative effects of stress (e.g., beginning an exercise regimen).
C) Correct. Reactive strategies are those which temporarily reduce the effects of the stress.
D) Incorrect. Resistance is actually a stage of the stress progression rather than a specific coping strategy.
