The first part of the statement refers to the theory of Paul Ekman, who proposed that facial expressions and bodily sensations influence our emotional experiences. The second part of the statement refers to the theory of Silvan Tomkins, who extended this idea and proposed that facial expressions not only reflect but also cause emotions. However, Tomkins is not listed as an option, and the closest match is Ekman. Therefore, the best choice is C. James-Lange theory (A) proposes that emotions are the result of bodily sensations, while Cannon-Bard theory (B) suggests that emotions and bodily sensations occur simultaneously. Maslow and Rogers (D) are known for their contributions to the humanistic perspective in psychology, which is not directly related to emotions and facial expressions.
