Answer: Cannon-Bard theory.

Explanation:

The also called Thalamic theory of emotion was developed by Walter Cannon and Philip Bard. It asserts that we simultaneously experience both emotions and physiological reactions, such as sweating, shaking, or tensing a muscle. Emotions are the result of the thalamus telling the brain to respond to a stimulus, provoking a physiological response.
