Griffin Carson · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  When confronted by an armed robber, your body will activate the sympathetic nervous system and release adrenaline, which will slow down digestion and focus energy toward the muscles that may be needed for self-defense or fleeing. Therefore, slowing of digestion is the most likely physiological response. The other options are less likely or contradictory to the body's stress response.
