    Answer: C) a tend-and-befriend strategy.

    Explanation:

    The Tend and Befriend strategy is a relatively new theory that tries to explain another way humans respond to stress.

    Recent studies have shown that women are the main proponents of this theory because while men would rather prefer a 'Fight or Flight' approach, women can reduce stress faster when going by this theory as they are more likely to nurture and tend to their offspring as well as rely on their close ones as a support system who they can lean on in hard times.
