The answer is that James-Lange theory best explains her reaction.
This theory was proposed in 1884 and it joined the thoughts of William James and Danish physiologist Carl Lange, who to a great extent autonomously arrived at a similar conclusion and this theory is one of the earliest theories of emotion within modern psychology. The James– Lange hypothesis alludes to a theory on the origin and nature of emotions.
