Answer 1

c. increased muscle tension and attention deficits, thus decreasing performance

Answer 2

c. increased muscle tension and attention deficits, thus decreasing performance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arousal is a double-edged weapon because can excite or freak out the athlete, causing tension in his or her muscles and causing attention deficits, having sort of a tunnel vision about the game. As a result, the athlete performance will be decreasing because is gonna be distracted and have a sense of being tired.
