Solution

The correct option is C Pavlov
The conditional reflex can be defined as the involuntary response to an stimulus based on the prior learning, memory or experience. These reflexes are not innate. The conditional reflex was first studied by Evan Pavlov. He trained a dog with a bell-sound every time while serving the food. The dog learnt the bell sound as an association with the food. After sometime, just the bell sound initiated salivation in dog even when the food was not served along with it. Other examples of conditional reflexes include driving, swimming, cycling etc.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Pavlov'
