P, Q, S

Conditioned reflex is some action or feeling that one learns to do in response to a specific situation or stimulus.

The characteristics associated with it are as follows:

1. Acquired by practice or learning, for example, such as a pianist striking a particular key on seeing a given note on music shaff. The musician reads music and plays notes automatically but only after the considerable amount of training and effort.
   
2. Non-acquired by birth, it is not acquired by birth and person learns during the lifetime.
   
3. Participation of cerebral cortex is needed for conditioned reflex. Hence, option B is correct.
