Darius Hansen · Answer 1

The answer is d. Cannon-Bard theory.

Explanation:

The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion states that we experience emotions and their physiological reactions at the same time. This is in contrast to other explanations such as the James-Lange theory, which states that emotions are the result of the reactions. The Cannon-Bard theory sees both factors as independent. This means you can experience either of them individually. For example, you may feel scared without presenting the reactions associated with the emotion, and vice-versa.
