Letter D is the correct answer.

J. B. Watson was an American psychologist considered to be the father of Behaviorism. In his studies with rats and maze-learning, also known as the Kerplunk experiment, Watson found out that rotating the maze impaired the rat's ability to navigate through them even if they previously had learned how.
