Amanda Tells You About Her Date with Brett the Night

Amanda tells you about her date with Brett the night before. They went to the local amusement park, where they rode roller-coasters, attempted a climbing wall, and went into the House of Horrors. At first, Amanda wasn't that interested in Brett, but by the end of the night she found herself very attracted to him. What insights could you provide, given the results of the Featured Study on the effects of arousal on attraction?

A) She must really be in love, because people who experience fear-inducing stimuli often end up showing fear or revulsion to people nearby.
B) We tend to seek out dangerous events when we are with someone whom we want to impress, so if she tried to climb a wall then she must have feelings for Brett.
C) Fear-inducing events can lead us to interpret our arousal as attraction, instead of fear, if we are around potential mates.
D) She must be overcompensating for her guilt about not wanting to go out with Brett in the first place, so she's convinced herself that he's attractive.
