Solution
The correct option is B Conditioning Conditioning is a type of behaviour which involves a response to repeated exposure to a particular stimulus. It changes the normal behaviour of people. Advertisements usually have celebrities or cartoon characters in them. This greatly influences people. Most of the people get attracted to such advertised products and tend to buy them. In this case, the product becomes a conditioned stimulus. In the same way, Riya was attracted to the cartoon characters and insisted on her parents to buy chocolates. This behavioural type is conditioning.
