This statement is true: a. Emotions cannot be studied in nonhuman animals because there is no way to assess whether such animals have a subjective experience of emotions like humans do.

Explanation:

Emotions are related to human experience because people can talk about what they are experiencing, a way to study human's emotions is by approching to each subjetive experience. A way to determine a subject experience is by talking or expressing things about it. Animals even though can show responses and reactions to certain stimuli, they do not express themselves in a way that can be measure, and cannot be equaly meassure to humans.
