Explanation / Answer

Classical conditioning is a form of learning which involves learning through the process of association. The subject makes association between two stimulus. When the stimulus is rewarding, the subject continues to exhibit desirable behaviour. However, if the association between the two stimulus; unconditioned stimulus is no longer being paired with the conditioned stimulus, extinction will take place. The subject would no longer produce the behaviour desired if there is no association.

Thus, the correct answer is option, B.
