According to the two-step process theory of emotions, the first step involves physiological arousal and the experiential system, which is responsible for the initial assessment of a situation (primary appraisal). The second step involves higher-order cognition and the rational system, which is responsible for the interpretation of the situation and the selection of an appropriate response (secondary appraisal). Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. The other choices do not accurately reflect the two-step process theory of emotions.
