The Answer is B: Classical conditioning

The answer is classical conditioning because In simple terms when two stimuli are together it produce a new learned response in a person or animal. Just like Joshua The rubbed of the alcohol and the the smell of the shot gave a response which made him anxious.

Hope this helps man!
