Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emotional appraisals refer to the evaluations or judgments we make about a situation or stimulus that leads to an emotional response. In this case, the feelings of anxiety, hope, and envy are due to the emotional appraisals we make about the situation we are in or the things we desire. Therefore, option A is the best choice. Unconscious attributions, cognitive distinctions, and facial feedback may also play a role in shaping our emotional responses, but they are not as relevant in explaining the specific feelings mentioned in the question.
