Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The results of the study suggest that arousal (generated by a scary bridge) was attributed to the presence of an attractive female interviewer. This is consistent with the two-factor theory of emotion, which posits that physiological arousal must be labeled or interpreted before it can be experienced as a specific emotion. In this case, the males labeled their physiological arousal as attraction to the female interviewer. The other theories listed (attachment, triangular, terror-management) do not offer an explanation for this specific finding.
