conditioning
B

C
imprinting
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Classical conditioning refers to learning that occurs when a neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone) becomes associated with a stimulus (e.g., food) that naturally produces a behaviour. After the association is learned, the previously neutral stimulus is sufficient to produce the behaviour.

Detailed explanation-2: -In operant conditioning, an animal learns to perform a behavior more or less frequently through a reward or punishment that follows the behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -Classical conditioning is a type of learning in which an animal learns to associate one stimulus with another. In this type of learning, a stimulus that normally produces a particular behavior is linked with a second stimulus. The second stimulus is something neutral to which the animal does not normally respond.

Detailed explanation-4: -Instinct, imprinting, conditioning, and imitation are the four types of animal behavior.

Detailed explanation-5: -A stimulus is a change in the environment that produces a behavioral response. It may be an object or an event perceived through an animal’s senses. Stimuli may include the sight of food, the sound of a potential predator, or the smell of a mate.
