Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The three terms used to describe the way in which hardy people differ from many other Type A people and others who suffer more ill effects due to stress are commitment, control, and challenge. This concept was first introduced by psychologists Suzanne Kobasa and Salvatore Maddi in the 1970s. Hardy individuals are committed to their work or personal lives, have a sense of control over their situations, and view challenges as opportunities rather than threats. These three characteristics allow them to cope with stress more effectively and remain resilient in the face of adversity.
