Which set lists the trauma responses?

• A. Flight, Fight, Freeze, Fawn
• B. Fight, Run, Hide
• C. Fight, Flight, Freeze
• D. Flight, Fight, Run, Flee

Answer: (A)

Trauma responses can manifest in several ways when someone faces threat or overwhelming stress. In addition to the familiar fight and flight, people may also freeze, a momentary paralysis that helps them assess danger or avoid notice. A fourth response, called fawn, involves people-pleasing or appeasing others to reduce perceived danger, often by complying or trying to soothe the situation.

So, the most comprehensive set you’ll see is flight, fight, freeze, and fawn. That’s why listing all four—flight, fight, freeze, and fawn—is the best answer.

The other options miss one or more of these: one misses fawn, another uses nonstandard terms like run or hide without the formal labels, and another substitutes synonyms for flight without including freeze or fawn.
