Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The context states that work and stress have become so closely connected that they cannot be separated. 'Integrated' means combined into a unified whole, which perfectly captures this inseparable relationship. 'Related' is too weak, 'mixed' implies combination without unity, and 'reverberated' means echoed or reflected.
