The scenario described suggests that hypnosis was effective in influencing Daniel's subjective experience of feeling queasy when he thought of smoking. This aligns with the definition of hypnosis as a state of heightened suggestibility. The other options are incorrect; there is evidence to support the use of hypnotherapy as a legitimate therapeutic intervention in psychology, and people can remember what happens during hypnosis sessions.
