Question

Emer Joy Sagun · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The scenario described in the question suggests the facial feedback effect, which asserts that facial expressions can influence emotional experience. When people wrinkle their noses in disgust, their facial muscles send signals to the brain that amplify the emotion of disgust, making them increasingly averse to the food. The other options in the question don't fit the scenario as well. The Cannon-Bard theory posits that emotional and physiological responses occur simultaneously, rather than one causing the other. The relative deprivation principle describes the experience of feeling dissatisfied when comparing oneself to others who have more. The feel-good, do-good phenomenon suggests that doing good deeds can improve one's mood.
