b. the cannon-bard
c. schachter's two-factor
d. the evolutionary

The correct answer is c. Schachter's two-factor. Cognitive appraisal happens when we evaluate how a certain experience or scenario affects us by interpreting the different aspects of the event. When there are no obvious clues or physical stimulation, we make a response based on our own interpretation. For example, your parents told you that they need to cut back 5 bucks from your allowance. Without any explanation given, you would assess the situation based on their demeanor and other factors (e.g. your father has just been laid off from his job), and would arrive at the conclusion that your parents probably has money problems, so you didn't react negatively to the news.
