Answer:

Cannon-Bard theory

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cannon-Bard theory proposes that the physical experience and assessment of the situation happen at the same time.

Thus, in this case because it says that, “At the same time as the lightning strike, Janelle felt scared,” it is an indication that it is the Cannon-Bard theory because it happened simultaneously.

I also took the exam and got this question right.


I hope this helps! :)
