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: -According to the James-Lange theory of emotion, our experience of an emotion is the result of the arousal that we experience. This approach proposes that the arousal and the emotion are not independent, but rather that the emotion depends on the arousal.

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.
