Ed's increased heart rate and sweating from playing basketball could be misattributed as arousal towards women, which could lead him to feel more attracted to women than before. This phenomenon is called misattribution of arousal. Option A is not a valid explanation as we do not have any information about the sex drives of Ed and Tyrone. Option C is also not a valid option as we do not have any information about Ed's and Tyrone's attraction towards women. Option D is also not a valid option as it makes assumptions about Tyrone's sexual orientation without any evidence.
