The answer is the fight or flight response.

The fight or flight response is a survival mechanism in the body in the nervous system. It is how we respond to a stressful situation and is there to protect us from harm. Therefore it is not a risk factor for violence. It's our bodies natural way to protect us from violence.

The other choices are sadly all risk factors for violence.
