Emotional expressions refer to the outward signs of emotions, such as facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice. In this scenario, the tears forming in the corners of the eyes and the slumped shoulders are examples of emotional expressions.

Answer: C 
 Physiological changes are the bodily responses that accompany emotions, such as changes in heart rate, breathing rate, and sweating. While not explicitly mentioned in the scenario, the physiological changes that may accompany the sadness and tears could be seen as part of this component of emotions.

Both A and C can be valid answers as emotional expressions and physiological changes are both evident in the scenario.
