During which phase of the sexual response cycle do genital areas become engorged with blood?

Resolution phase

Plateau phase

Excitement phase

During the excitement phase of the sexual response cycle, the body prepares for sexual activity by increasing blood flow to the genital area. This causes organs such as the clitoris, penis, and vagina to become engorged and sensitive. The plateau phase, resolution phase, and orgasm phase are incorrect because during these phases, the body experiences changes such as ejaculation and return to a non-aroused state, rather than increased blood flow to the genital areas.
