In recent years, people have formed laughter groups all across the United States, in which a small number of people get together on a regular basis to laugh. They do not do this by watching funny movies or telling jokes. Instead, they simply laugh deliberately for some period of time. Even though the laughter is occurring without humour, people in these groups enjoy improved mental and physical health. One reason for these results might be that:

B) laughter has physiological effects that are similar to exercise
C) James was right and we base our mood on our actions
D) laughter makes us remember other happy times
