(A) Before his exam, Kabir cannot recall the formulas he revised the night before.	(II) Memory loss	Kabir cannot bring back what he studied only a night earlier. Failing to recall stored information under stress is memory loss.
(B) Neha reaches office after the start time on most days and misses a few working days each month.	(IV) Irregular attendance and timekeeping	Coming late again and again and missing days is a change in behaviour at work. This is irregular attendance and timekeeping.
(C) Arjun suddenly takes up many tasks at once and works till late at night, then feels drained for days.	(III) Frantic bursts of energy	Sudden spells of hectic, scattered activity followed by exhaustion are not steady effort. They are frantic bursts of energy.
(D) Pooja feels that she is worthless and that everyone around her is better than her.	(I) Low self-esteem	Seeing oneself as worthless and lower than others is a poor view of the self. This is low self-esteem.

NCERT (2026-27): “Signs and Symptoms of Stress
The way we respond to stress varies depending upon our personality, early upbringing and life experiences. Everyone has their own pattern of stress response. So the warning signs may vary, as may their intensity. Some of us know our pattern of stress response and can gauge the depth of the problem by the nature and severity of our own symptoms or changes in behaviour. These symptoms of stress can be physical, emotional and behavioural. Any of the symptoms can indicate a degree of stress which, if left unresolved, might have serious implications.”

“Lack of concentration, Memory loss, Poor decision-making, Inconsistency, Irregular attendance and timekeeping, Low self-esteem, Poor long-term planning, Frantic bursts of energy, Extreme mood swings, Emotional outbursts, Worry, Anxiety, Fear, Depression, Difficulties with sleep, Difficulties with eating, Misuse of drugs, Physical illness, e.g. stomach upset, headache, backache, etc. …”
