Answer:A. Keane might notice an increase in his heart rate and breathing.

Explanation:

The James-Lange Theory of Emotion

Is also referred to as the physiological theory of emotion it refers to our tendency to react emotionally to a physiological situation

When we are stimulated by a particular stimuli we react physiological and how our emotions will be is defined by our perception of that situation.
