D) Excessive weight gain

Feedback:
A person with "hardiness" has a sense of purpose in life and is better able to adapt to stress. Other factors that decrease physical stress and increase the ability to adapt include a regular circadian rhythm pattern and appropriate weight for body size. Impaired renal function is related to the inability of the kidneys to adapt to the conditions present in the very young and the very old.
