Your teacher returns a paper that shows a grade of "d" instead of the "b" you expected. when you see the grade, which stage of stress response will you be in?
a) alarm
b) fatigue
c)resistance

The best answer is a) Alarm: alarm as a stage of stress response is when you are first faced with the stressor, and additionally shocked/surprised.

You haven't yet started doing something about it, which would be the next stage, resistance. During the resistance stage, your body is still ready for action, but not as much as during the first stage, alarm, also called "fight or flight"
