Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The situation described suggests that Greg is experiencing performance anxiety, where he becomes too anxious or nervous in high-pressure situations, leading to a decline in performance. This is often associated with being over-aroused, meaning his arousal levels are too high. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are not supported by the information given.
