When thinking about GREs, applying to graduate school, and studying for mid-terms, Nichole starts to have sweaty palms and a racing heart. It is MOST probable that Nichole is responding to ________.

A) T cells
B) the pressure
C) stressors
D) lymphocytes

Nichole is experiencing physical symptoms related to stress, so it is most likely that she is responding to stressors. The other options (T cells and lymphocytes) are related to the immune system and would not be directly related to her stress response. While pressure (option B) could be a source of stress, it is not the specific trigger that is causing her physical symptoms.
