The appropriate sequence of training phases for stress inoculation would be:

A) educational, skill acquisition, rehearsal, application, generalization.
B) skill acquisition, generalization, rehearsal, application, educational.
C) rehearsal, application, educational, generalization, skill acquisition.
D) application, generalization, educational, skill acquisition, rehearsal.

Stress inoculation training typically follows a sequence that begins with an educational phase, where individuals learn about stress and its effects. This is followed by skill acquisition, where coping skills are taught. Rehearsal of these skills comes next, allowing for practice in a controlled environment. Application involves using these skills in real-life situations, and generalization refers to applying these skills across various situations. This sequence is best represented by option A.
