Final answer:

Recognition is not an emotion but a cognitive process, making it the correct answer to the question about which option is not usually identified as an emotion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The category that is NOT usually identified as an emotion is Recognition. Emotions are generally described as psychological and physiological states triggered by thoughts, feelings, behavioral responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure. The options provided, except for recognition, represent various emotional states. Excited, Fearful, Relaxed, and Gloomy are adjectives that describe emotions. In contrast, recognition is a cognitive process where one identifies something previously seen, known, or experienced; it is not an emotion. Examples of universally recognized emotions include happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, surprise, and contempt as identified by various psychological studies.
