The correct option is A.
Darwin's principle of antithesis states that some states of mind lead to specific habitual behavior and when a directly opposite state of mind is induced there is a strong, involuntary tendency to perform movements which are directly opposite in nature. An example of this is showing of submission signals by another dog to a dominant dog.
