Answer: Phase 2, in a state of resistance.

Explanation: General Adaptation syndrome also known as GAS was developed by János Hugo Bruno "Hans" Selye CC, an endocrinologist. The general adaptation syndrome explains the non-specific response of an organism to stressors.

It consists of three stages which are the alarm reaction stage; resistant stage and; the exhaustion stage.

Each of these stages describes the physiological changes a body goes through when under stress.
