Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive affect tends to increase motivation towards positive and active behavioral goals (option B) as well as compliance with persuasive messages (option C). It does not necessarily have an impact on careful processing of options in decision-making (option A). Therefore, option D is the best choice as it includes both options B and C, which are more likely to be motivated by positive affect.
