D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Classical conditioning is learning through association and was first demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov. Pavlov showed that dogs could be conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell if that sound was repeatedly presented at the same time that they were given food.

Detailed explanation-2: -Russian physiologist Igor Pavlov, working in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, showed that dogs can be taught-”conditioned”-to expect food (and therefore to salivate) when presented with a stimulus like a ringing bell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pavlov had the idea that dogs do not need to learn certain things, such as salivating when they see food. He said these reflexes are hard-wired into dogs. He coined the dog’s food as an unconditioned stimulus and the salivation as an unconditioned response-this response did not require any learning on the dog’s part.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ivan Pavlov studied the behavior of dogs and developed a theory of classical conditioning, which explains how people associate two stimuli in their minds and react to one of them as though it was the other.

Detailed explanation-5: -Classical conditioning was first studied in detail by Ivan Pavlov, who conducted experiments with dogs and published his findings in 1897. During the Russian physiologist’s study of digestion, Pavlov observed that the dogs serving as his subjects drooled when they were being served meat.
