Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The surge of natural amphetamines such as dopamine and norepinephrine during the early stages of romantic love can cause feelings of elation and euphoria, leading individuals to feel as though they are being swept away. Culture and the need for subservience do not play a significant role in this biological response. The last option of pleasure from playing the game rather than winning the prize is not related to the question.
