Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies suggest that cognitive factors, such as catastrophic thinking or misinterpretation of bodily sensations, can contribute to the development of panic attacks.

Option D is partially correct as misinterpretation of bodily sensations is one aspect of cognitive factors that can contribute to panic attacks. However, it does not fully capture the role of cognition in panic attacks.
