Buzz is a very clever and sensitive dog. When he was a puppy, he learned that lightning is followed by loud andfrightening thunder. Now, when there is a flash of lightning, Buzz begins to tremble even before he hears the thunder.Buzz has also learned that when he sees the lightning he can then run through the dog door into the house, where he feels safer.Buzz’s response of trembling when there is a flash of lightning and his response of running indoors are, respectively, examples of;

A	classical conditioning/operant conditioning.
B	operant conditioning/classical conditioning.
C	operant conditioning/trial-and-error learning.
D	trial-and-error learning/classical conditioning

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Classical conditioning is a form of learning whereby a conditioned stimulus (CS) becomes associated with an unrelated unconditioned stimulus (US) to produce a behavioral response known as a conditioned response (CR).

Detailed explanation-2: -An unconditioned response is an automatic response to a stimulus. The dogs salivating for food is the unconditioned response in Pavlov’s experiment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The behavior caused by the conditioned stimulus is called the conditioned response (CR). In the case of Pavlov’s dogs, they had learned to associate the tone (CS) with being fed, and they began to salivate (CR) in anticipation of food.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Pavlov theory of learning is built on unconditioned/conditioned stimulus and response. The first time you experience a stimulus, it has little to no impact on you. But after repetition, it will elicit a specific response from you. These stages are before and after conditioning.
