Answer:

B. Collective emotional arousal

Step-by-step explanation:

Social psychology explains that a crowd is affected by the impression of universality of behavior, which can lead to loss of individual responsibility and increase the probability of taking emotional decisions rather than rational. Therefore when individual are influenced by a mob mentality they may make different decisions than they would individually.
