B
Smile, You’ll Feel Better
C
Lazarus and the Cognitive-Mediational Theory
D
James-Lange theory of emotion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Schachter-Singer theory explains that emotion is formed from physiological arousal and a cognitive label. This theory also explains that a person’s emotional response is formed from an interpretation of their immediate environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Schachter and Singer’s (1962) Two-Factor Theory of Emotion suggests that physiological arousal determines the strength of the emotion, while cognitive appraisal identifies the emotion label. So, in this theory, the “two-factor” represents physiological change and cognitive appraisal change.

Detailed explanation-3: -What Is the Two-Factor Theory? The two-factor theory of emotion focuses on the interaction between physical arousal and how we cognitively label that arousal. In other words, simply feeling arousal is not enough; we also must identify the arousal in order to feel the emotion.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the Schacter–Singer theory, emotion results from the interaction between two factors: physiological arousal and cognition. More specifically, this theory claims that physiological arousal is cognitively interpreted within the context of each situation, which ultimately produces the emotional experience.
