Which term best describes "refers to strong, often exaggerated mood shifts"?

Expelling solid wastes
Emotional lability
Emotional stress
Emesis basin

The correct answer is: Emotional lability

The term "emotional lability" accurately describes strong and often exaggerated mood shifts. This concept refers to a condition in which a person experiences rapid and intense fluctuations in their emotional state, which can be seen in various conditions, such as certain neurological disorders or mood disorders. It characterizes unpredictable changes in emotions, making it a fitting choice for the definition provided. The other choices do not relate to mood shifts. "Expelling solid wastes" pertains to bodily functions and is unrelated to emotions. "Emotional stress" involves feelings of pressure and anxiety but does not specifically denote the rapid changeability of mood that emotional lability signifies. "Emesis basin" refers to a medical tool used to collect vomit, with no connection to emotional changes whatsoever.
