Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The definition given aligns with the concept of emotion, as it involves subjective experience (feeling), physiological response (changes in heart rate, breathing, and hormones), and behavioral or expressive response (facial expressions, body language, or actions). Option A, motivation, can involve psychological and physiological factors, but not necessarily an expressive response. Option C, self-efficacy, refers to a belief in one's abilities to perform a particular task and is not related to emotions. Option D, anthropomorphism, is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human entities and is not related to the definition given.
