    A). He will not perform well due to increased arousal.

    Explanation:

    Arousal is described as the physiological state of being attentive, wake, or reactive to stimuli that result in increased heart rate and blood pressure along with the readiness or activeness to respond.

    As per the given question, 'John's would not be to perform well due to the increased arousal' as he would be in an extreme state of sensory alertness with the elevated heartbeats and blood pressure that would burden him to perform well and make him nervous. This would mar him from focusing on the sport as his entire conscious sense is devoted to 'being alert'. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
