Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Lazarus and Folkman's theory of stress is based on the idea that stress is not just a physiological response, but a transactional process that is influenced by cognitive appraisal and perception. As a result, stress is both non-specific and subjective, and can differ from one individual to another. Therefore, stress is defined with both B and C.
