Repressors-people who unconsciously inhibit their display of emotion - exhibit significant increases in heart rate when they encounter emotion-provoking situations. Nonrepressors have similar physiogical responses when they encounter such situations and consciously inhibit their display of emotion. Thus the very act of inhibiting displays of emotions, whether done consciously or unconsciously, causes a sharp rise in heart rate.,

Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument?

A. Encountering an emotion provoking situation is not sufficient to cause nonrepressors' heart rates to rise sharply.

B. Nonprepressors can inhibit facial and bodily displays of emotion as well as prepressors do.

C. Despite their outward calm, represoors normally feel even more excited than do nonrepressors in an emotion provoking situaion.

D. People who are ordinarily very emotional can refrain from feeling strong emotions when experiements ask them to do so.

E. In situations that do not tedn to provoke emotions, the average heart rate of repressors is the same as that of nonrepressors.

I cannot figure out why the key is A. Anyone please give a hand?
