I'd say "c" to both.
There is scientific evidence to support the effects of people's moods on their immune systems. I'm guessing that life events (such as death in the family, change in relationship status, moving, loss of employment OR promotion) have a greater influence simply because they are major. Although navigating rush hour traffic at least twice a day five days a week can be pretty aggravating!

I think the answer to the first question is c.. it has been known through research that people who have better attitudes and moods have a healthier immune system than those that experienced more sour dispositions.
The answer to the second one is b.. daily hassles and stresses take a more taxing effect on peoples health then major life events for the simple fact that most major life events don't happen as often as daily stresses thus far making it seem less likely to have an adverse and long lasting effect then daily stresses.
I hope this helps you!

Tell your psychology teacher they are full of crap. Ask them to prove even one, just one, theory. They can't. They prey on weak and easily influenced people to sell therapy time and drugs. Sort of like card readers and fortune tellers. Try that and see what happens.
