Options:

Tsunami in another country

Robbery in the colony

Illness of a family member

Earthquake in another state

Correct Answer:

Illness of a family member

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Illness of a family member

Stress induced by Life Events refers to major personal events that require significant adjustment in one's life. These include events like death or illness of a family member, job loss, divorce, etc.

  • Illness of a family member directly affects the individual and their emotional and physical resources, making it a classic example of a life event causing stress.

  • Events like tsunami in another country or earthquake in another state may cause concern or empathy but are considered distant events, not personal life events.

  • Robbery in the colony may cause situational or acute stress but not qualify as a life event unless the individual is directly affected.
