Answer to Question 1

C
Using defense mechanisms such as denial or rationalization is a universal way in which a person's mind protects itself against anxiety; these mechanisms are not consciously chosen but activate automatically to help maintain psychological homeostasis.

Answer to Question 2

A
People use adaptive measures to deal directly with a stressful situation or the symptoms the situation produces; these measures require minimal expenditure of energy and include relaxation, behavioral changes, and support networks.
