Answer:

c. low arousal positive states.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to research, high arousal emotions are highly valued in Western culture than low arousal emotions and because of this, Westerners experience more high arousal emotions than low arousals.

However, this is in contrast with East Asians who value low arousal emotions more and actually prefer it to high arousal emotions.

Anger, for example, is a high arousal emotion. Sadness, on the other hand, is a low arousal emotion.
