Which set describes universal emotions including anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise?

• A. Anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise
• B. Joy, trust, anticipation, surprise
• C. Anger, happiness, surprise, relief
• D. Hunger, thirst, curiosity, boredom

Answer: (A)

Universal emotions are basic feelings recognized across cultures, with six classic examples: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise. The option that lists exactly these six emotions is correct because it matches this widely cited set and includes every one of them. The other options mix in states that aren’t part of the standard universal set—some omit several universal emotions, or replace them with states like relief or with responses such as hunger or curiosity.
