Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The James-Lange theory proposes that emotions arise from our awareness of our physiological responses to emotion-provoking stimuli. People with pure autonomic failure, a condition in which the autonomic nervous system fails to regulate the internal organs, do not experience many physiological responses to emotional stimuli. Therefore, their lack of emotional experience supports the James-Lange theory.
