Time stress is described as being unable to meet demands, such as multiple demands and rushing. Which category does this describe?

• A. Distress
• B. Eustress
• C. Time
• D. Anticipatory

Answer: (C)

Time stress happens when demands pile up faster than the time you have to meet them, leading to rushing and a sense you can’t complete tasks. That’s why this describes the Time category—the stressor is time itself. It’s not about a general negative reaction to stress (distress), not about a positive, motivating form of stress (eustress), and not about anxiety before something occurs (anticipatory). The scenario centers on the pressure created by insufficient time.
