Question

Kourtnie Belcher · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Chris, who is high in agreeableness, is least likely to get a cold because personality traits like agreeableness do not directly impact one's susceptibility to viruses. Stress and certain personality types (like Type A, associated with stress) can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections. Being asocial might limit exposure to pathogens, but it doesn't inherently strengthen the immune system against a virus already encountered.
