Correct answer: B. Interpersonal stressor
- A. Intrapersonal stressor
- B. Interpersonal stressor
- C. Extrapersonal stressor

An interpersonal stressor arises from interaction between people, such as family conflict. An intrapersonal stressor occurs within the person, an extrapersonal stressor occurs outside the immediate interpersonal relationship, and a line of defense is not a stressor.
