B Correct answer
Explanation

Research in educational psychology consistently shows that learning is deeply influenced by emotional factors. A positive emotional environment reduces anxiety, increases motivation, and enhances cognitive processing, making learning more effective.

Option D is incorrect because learning involves physical, social, and emotional dimensions, not just mental activity.
