Question 1 of 5
A young woman, who lives alone, comes home at night to find a man in her apartment. What body responses would be expected for this young woman?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and pupil dilation. This is because encountering a potential threat triggers the fight-or-flight response in the body. Increased blood pressure and heart rate prepare the body for action, while pupil dilation enhances visual acuity for better threat assessment.
Choice A is incorrect because encountering a threat typically results in increased heart rate to prepare for action, not decreased heart rate.
Choice B is incorrect as increased respiratory rate is more likely to occur to prepare for increased oxygen intake.
Choice C is incorrect as pupil constriction is unlikely in a threatening situation, and decreased heart rate is not a common response to a perceived threat.
