Correct Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

Psychological stress often brings about a range of negative emotions and behaviors, including depression, hostility, anger, and aggression. These negative emotional states are significant factors in the study of how stress affects health. Prolonged stress can contribute to the development of psychological disorders such as panic attacks and obsessive behavior. Intense worries may escalate to the point where they manifest as frightening physical sensations, which can be mistaken for a heart attack. Individuals experiencing chronic stress are more susceptible to irrational fears, mood swings, phobias, and may also have bouts of depression, anger, and irritability. These negative emotions have been found to have connections with the functioning of the immune system.
