C) fight-or-flight response.

Catrina's experience of a racing heart and the subsequent calming down after the stressful event is indicative of the fight-or-flight response. This physiological and psychological reaction is triggered in response to a perceived threat, preparing the body to either confront the danger or flee from it.
