Final answer:

The correct answer according to the James-Lange theory of emotion is option (B), where physiological changes are first interpreted, followed by the feeling of emotion, and finally observable behavior.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question refers to the James-Lange theory of emotion, which posits that emotions are experienced in a specific sequence starting with physiological changes. According to this theory, when an external event triggers a physiological response (e.g., encountering a venomous snake), these physiological changes are then interpreted, and only after this interpretation does one feel the corresponding emotion.

The correct sequence according to the James-Lange theory is: (B) Physiological changes, interpretation of physiological changes, feel emotion, observable behavior. This sequence highlights that the feeling of emotion comes after the body experiences physiological changes and these changes are interpreted.
