A. the thalamus plays a central role in producing emotions.

Explanation:

Cannon-Bard theory: In psychology, the Cannon-Bard theory is also referred to as the Thalamic theory of emotion, and was introduced by Philip Bard and Walter Cannon. They have described the theory as the physiological explanation related to the emotion.

The theory states that an individual tends to experience physiological reactions and feel emotions including trembling, sweating, and muscle tension at the same time.

According to Cannon and Bard, both the reactions that occur at the same time originated in the thalamus which is responsible for receiving different types of sensory information.
