Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Schacter's two-factor theory of emotion suggests that emotions involve both physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation of that arousal. Therefore, drugs or injuries that prevent strong autonomic arousal would weaken emotional experiences since the individual would not have a strong physiological response to interpret cognitively.
