Ans: D
Stressors are tension-producing stimuli that have the potential of causing disequilibrium in the system. Flexible line of defense is the buffer zone representing a dynamic level of health resulting from a temporary response to stress. Normal line of defense is the level of health the community has reached over time. Lines of resistance are internal mechanisms that act to defend against stressors.
