Explanation:

Analyze emotional states and perception

Heightened emotional states like anger, anxiety, or extreme excitement cause cognitive overload and tunnel vision. This psychological impairment directly reduces a driver's situational awareness and slows down physical reaction times when encountering hazards. Therefore, the statement is true.

Evaluate emotional control strategies

Controlling emotions behind the wheel is a core component of defensive driving. Maintaining a responsible attitude helps keep reactions calm, training yourself to use correct procedures reduces panic, and expecting mistakes from others prevents sudden anger or road rage. Since all three individual strategies are effective, the comprehensive option is correct.
