Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The scenario described in the question is an example of embodied cognition, which is the idea that bodily sensations, movements, and experiences are involved in our cognitive processes and influence our thoughts and feelings. Holding a warm drink creates a bodily sensation of warmth, which may influence our perception of others as more warm or friendly. The McGurk effect is a perceptual phenomenon where what we see changes what we hear. Psychokinesis refers to the ability to move objects with one's mind, which is not relevant to the scenario. Synesthesia is a neurological condition where one sensory experience (e.g. seeing a number) elicits a secondary sensory experience (e.g. hearing a sound), which is also not relevant to the scenario.
