Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is C.  Exhaustion stage

Explanation:

General adaptation syndrome is the process that the body bears when it responds to stress.  There are three stages: alarm, resistance and exhaustion stage. George's energy has depleted and is the result of prolonged or chronic stress during his internship.  The effects of this stage weaken the immune system. That's the reason he got sick.
