Future stress is the 'flight-or-fight' response that your body triggers in times of duress but is meant to be temporary.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not at all

Answer: (B)

The fight-or-flight response is an immediate, short-term reaction to a present threat. When danger is sensed, the sympathetic nervous system releases adrenaline and other stress hormones, gears up the heart and muscles, and heightens alertness so you can flee or defend yourself. It is designed to be temporary; after the threat passes, the body returns to normal. The statement mixes up future stress with this present-moment reaction, which is why it’s not correct. Chronic or ongoing stress is a different situation where the body remains on high alert for longer periods, leading to health issues. So the claim is false.
