Ans: A
Normal line of defense is the level of health the community has reached over time. Immunity increases the level of health and is considered a normal line of defense. Flexible line of defense is the buffer zone representing a dynamic level of health resulting from a temporary response to stress. Lines of resistance are internal mechanisms that act to defend against stressors. The degree of reaction is the amount of disequilibrium or disruption that results from stressors impinging on the community's lines of defense.
