Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
The signs of stress that would show in an interviewee's face include paleness, red blotchy spots on the face and neck, and lack of expression. When a person is stressed, their blood vessels constrict, causing a pale complexion. Stress can also lead to increased blood flow, resulting in red, blotchy spots on the face and neck. Additionally, stress can cause a lack of expression, as the individual may be tense or anxious. Therefore, all of the given options are correct signs of stress that can be observed in an interviewee's face.

- A.
  
  True

When people are stressed, they are more likely to focus on their own needs and goals rather than working together towards a common objective. Therefore, the correct answer is false.
