Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Cannon–Bard theory states that physiological arousal and emotional experience occur simultaneously, yet independently. This theory posits that when you see a venomous snake in your backyard, you feel fear at exactly the same time that your body initiates its physiological fight-or-flight response.

Detailed explanation-2: -The James-Lange theory of emotion asserts that emotions arise from physiological arousal.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion states that stimulating events trigger feelings and physical reactions that occur at the same time. For example, seeing a snake might prompt both the feeling of fear (an emotional response) and a racing heartbeat (a physical reaction).
