In operant conditioning an important connection forms between the
A
unconditioned stimulus and the conditioned stimulus.
B
stimulus and whatever occurs before it.
C
unconditioned stimulus and the unconditioned response.
D
behaviour and the reinforcement that follows it.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -BF Skinner: Operant Conditioning According to this principle, behavior that is followed by pleasant consequences is likely to be repeated, and behavior followed by unpleasant consequences is less likely to be repeated.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reinforcement in operant conditioning involves strengthening an action by associating it with a consequence. If you want a child to clean their room, for instance, you may reinforce this behavior by giving them an allowance every time that they do.

Detailed explanation-3: -In operant conditioning, positive reinforcement involves the addition of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior that makes it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future. When a favorable outcome, event, or reward occurs after an action, that particular response or behavior will be strengthened.

Detailed explanation-4: -Operant behavior is behavior “controlled” by its consequences. In practice, operant conditioning is the study of reversible behavior maintained by reinforcement schedules. We review empirical studies and theoretical approaches to two large classes of operant behavior: interval timing and choice.
