This is another question that tests your EQ. Stress is often avoidable. For some, stress can feel overwhelming and result in task paralysis. Those who allow their stress and emotions to dictate their actions may struggle in their pursuits and may make ill-informed decisions. Those decisions are often later looked upon with regret.
There is an adage that says you are never supposed to make life-changing decisions out of a place of emotional volatility or stress. Therefore, the heart of this question is to determine the likelihood of whether you'll back out of your commitment to pursue your degree as a result of feeling stressed or overwhelmed in your studies. Highlight how you manage and cope with your stress and don't allow it to dictate or hamper your scholastic or career pursuits. Sharing your approach to overcoming your stress will go far in answering this question.

"I handle stress very well, and if you call my previous professors for references, they will attest to this fact. When I am under pressure with a challenging workload, I focus on the task at hand and make sure to not get distracted. Staying on deadline is very helpful, and I will ask for help when necessary to alleviate some stress."
