Which sequence of events in emotional responses is characteristic of the James-Lange theory of emotion?

A) stimulus  emotion  physiological changes
B) stimulus  physiological changes  emotion
C) physiological changes  stimulus  emotion
D) stimulus  emotion AND physiological changes (simultaneous)

The James-Lange theory of emotion proposes that physiological changes precede and cause emotional experiences. Therefore, the sequence of events in emotional responses that is characteristic of this theory is physiological changes followed by the emotional experience. Choice B is the only option that correctly reflects this sequence, as it lists the physiological changes before the emotional response.
