Explanation
Answer: A - The James-Lange theory on emotions was developed independently by William James and Carl Lange.

James and Lange believed that physiological changes elicited emotional responses, not the other way around. They also believed that emotions are the result of physiological events evoked by the autonomic nervous system, not the somatic nervous system. James’ laboratory was located in Harvard and Lange’s in Denmark; neither worked at Stanford University.
