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

The phrase 'package deal' is a common idiom meaning a set of things offered or sold together. The context describes how work always comes with stress, comparing it to a commercial offer where multiple items are bundled together. 'Package' correctly completes this idiomatic expression. 'Wrapped' and 'together' don't form the correct idiom, and 'joint' would create 'joint deal' which isn't the standard expression.
