According to the 'Inverted U' graph, maximum performance occurs at the moderate emotional arousal point.

• A. False
• B. Not specified
• C. True
• D. Both

Answer: (C)

The maximum performance occurs at a moderate level of emotional arousal. This reflects the idea that performance improves as arousal rises from low to a middle point, where focus and energy are optimized, but then declines if arousal becomes too high and leads to anxiety or overreaction. So the statement is true because the graph shows a peak at moderate arousal, not at very low or very high arousal. The other options don’t fit: “not specified” ignores the graph’s clear peak, and “false” would contradict the shown relationship. “Both” isn’t applicable since there is a single optimum point.
