The answer is the exhaustion stage.

Explanation:

This is the final stage in the general adaptation syndrome. In this stage, the body has depleted all its energy. If the stressor has been removed, the body will proceed to heal itself as in the previous stage (resistance); however, if the stress continues for longer, the body will be unable to cope with it, and will show signs of exhaustion.
