Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The underlined portion "jolt, instead" is not incorrect on its own, but it is inappropriately separated from the preceding portion of the sentence. A better option would be to write "With chronic stress, instead of getting a sudden physical and emotional jolt, the stress is slow and grinding."
