    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Stress can be defined as a response to any situation that poses a threat, excites or thrills us, scares us, or causes worry. It encompasses a wide range of experiences and emotions that can trigger a stress response in individuals.

    Correct Answer
    A. Overwork yourself
    Explanation
    Overworking oneself is not a positive way of coping with stress because it can lead to burnout, exhaustion, and negatively impact physical and mental health. While it may seem like working harder and longer can help manage stress, it often results in increased stress levels and decreased productivity. It is important to find a balance between work and personal life, take breaks, and prioritize self-care to effectively cope with stress.

    Mentally healthy people are those who:

    • All of the above.

    • B and C.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above." This is because mentally healthy people are able to meet the demands of life, feel right about other people, and feel comfortable about themselves. Meeting the demands of life shows their ability to cope with challenges and responsibilities. Feeling right about other people indicates positive relationships and social interactions. Feeling comfortable about themselves suggests a positive self-image and self-acceptance. Therefore, all three options are characteristics of mentally healthy individuals.

People with spermophobia may experience extreme anxiety or panic when exposed to germs or the possibility of coming into contact with them. This fear can lead to obsessive-compulsive behaviors such as excessive handwashing or avoiding public places.

People with triskaidekaphobia may experience anxiety, panic, or avoidance when encountering the number 13, often due to superstitions and cultural beliefs surrounding its perceived unluckiness.
