Physiological noise refers to any bodily or physical factors that interfere with communication. A headache is an example of physiological noise because it can affect a person's ability to concentrate and understand messages.

Answer: C 
 Fear or anxiety can also be considered physiological noise as it can create physical symptoms such as sweating or an increased heart rate that can distract a person from effective communication. However, this answer is not as clear-cut as option B since fear and anxiety can also be considered psychological noise.

Answer: A and D 
 Cars driving by (option A) can be considered external or environmental noise rather than physiological noise since it is not an internal bodily factor. Feeling happy about a date (option D) is not an example of physiological noise since it is not a bodily or physical factor interfering with communication.
