Answer: D

Explanation: The correct answer is letter D, an expression of fear. The FPS is a reaction that an organism has caused by a stimulus usually a strong noise or something visual.

This stimulus can be neutral, so it is no need for it to be unexpected or be in an a high-arousal state, although this things contribute to the intensity of the response.
