A) conflict.
B) overload.
C) pressure.
D) burnout.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) Overload

Explanation:

Overload occurs as an individual is saturated with information or tasks to do, this is common in the case the individual has multiple responsibilities and roles such as being an employee, a father/mother, friend, etc. This situation is part of the lives of many people and can be managed appropriately by planning tasks and finding time to rest. However, it can lead to stress and even burnout that occurs as you are mentally and physically exhausted and therefore cannot deal with the multiple tasks you are supposed to deal with.

The situation presented is an example of overload because it is described you have multiple tasks to do such as doing homework assignments, attend to hockey practice and working, this means you are saturated with tasks but not to the point you feel exhausted and are experiencing burnout.
