A	James-Lange Theory
B	Cannon-Bard Theory
C	Schachter-Two Factor Theory
D	Zajonc and LeDoux Theory

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion was developed. According to this view, physiological arousal and emotional experience occur simultaneously, yet independently (Lang, 1994).

Detailed explanation-2: -According to the James-Lange theory of emotion, you would only experience a feeling of fear after this physiological arousal had taken place. Furthermore, different arousal patterns would be associated with different feelings.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to James, the physiological response comes first, and it is perceived as an emotion and followed by a reaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -The James-Lange theory of emotion argues that an event causes physiological arousal first and then we interpret this arousal. Only after our interpretation of the arousal can we experience emotion. If the arousal is not noticed or is not given any thought, then we will not experience any emotion based on this event.
