Answer 1

C. Schachter-Singer

Step-by-step explanation:

Schachter-Singer theory is also referred to as the "two-factor theory" of emotion and is determined as a theory of emotion in which at least two distinct factors are required by an individual in order to experience emotion. However, environmental stimuli generally elicit a specific physiological response. It involves both cognitive and physiological processes.

The correct answer is the Schachter-Singer theory.
