Schachter and Singer's Two-Factor Theory of Emotion proposes that physiological arousal is a non-specific state and the interpretation of the arousal is what leads to the experience of a particular emotion. Therefore, choice C is the best option as it states that different attributions yield different emotional experiences from the same state of arousal.
