Explanation
Panic attacks are sudden and unexpected episodes of intense fear and discomfort. They can occur without any apparent trigger or warning, which is why they are described as happening spontaneously. Unlike panic attacks, slow onset anxiety symptoms develop gradually over time, panic attacks are not specifically related to exertion or being scared. Therefore, the correct answer is "spontaneously".
