Which statement best explains why the polygraph is not more widely used in courtrooms and in testing of job applications? 1) most people can avoid detection when they lie. 2) physiological arousal is much the same for several emotions, so the polygraph cannot always reliably distinguish guilt from other reactions. 3) a significant number of people show paradoxical autonomic reactions, responding more strongly when telling the truth than when lying 4) in controlled studies, the polygraph has correctly identified guilty individuals in small percentage of cases

2) physiological arousal is much the same for several emotions, so the polygraph cannot always reliably distinguish guilt from other reactions.
