The author of a book tracing the relationship of work-related stress to productivity loss in small business argues that most workers under-estimate the harmful physical effects of un-processed anxiety. Powerful hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine, which are released in stressful situations, raise heartbeat and blood pressure, priming the body for physical activity. However, since most business is conducted in a relatively restrained environment, workers find few opportunities to respond to stressful situations as their hormones seem to demand. If all of the above statements are true, it can be most directly inferred from the passage that:.
A. Most productivity loss in small business is due to un-processed stress hormones.
B. Increased physical activity would be helpful in processing stressful situations and increasing productivity.
C. Hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine stimulate critical thinking as well as raising blood pressure.
D. The restraint of business environments contributes to the stress experienced by workers.
E. Workers in more physically demanding jobs have fewer problems with work-related stress.
