Explanation:

Display rules are social - cultural norms about how and when to express emotions. Noah didn't know that smiling at strangers upon eye - contact isn't a norm in South Korea, which is a display rule. The other options don't fit this context. Misattribution of arousal is about wrongly identifying the source of physiological arousal. Emotional appraisal is the evaluation of an emotional situation. Cognitive label is related to naming an emotion.
