Mark sees a snake while raking leaves in his yard. He immediately feels his heart start pounding rapidly, feels his hair "stand on end," and breaks into a sweat

The aspect of Mark's reaction that distinguishes anxiety from fear is that in Mark's case the response is: a. anxiety triggered by sustained physical exertion
b. fear triggered by an attempt to go outside into a public place
c. anxiety triggered by reexperiencing a previously frightening event
d. fear triggered by a known, specific object or event


D
Mark's response is an example of fear because it is triggered by a known, specific object, the snake. His autonomic responses of the pounding heart and his hairs standing on end are directly related to the sight of the snake. A person experiencing anxiety would have a sense of dread without having a specific source or reason for the emotion.
