, − Explanation: The Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory suggests that emotion is based on physiological
arousal and a cognitive label. According to this theory, an individual must first experience physiological
arousal and then identify a reason for this arousal to experience the emotion.

B) Cannon-Bard Theory
C) Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory
D) Appraisal Theory

− A) James-Lange Theory
B) Cannon-Bard Theory
C) Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory
D) Evolutionary Theory of Emotion
