Answer 1

Wartime propaganda often depicts the enemy as ugly, cruel, and somewhat less than human. This type of propaganda creates A. an unfavorable classically conditioned emotional response toward the enemy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Classically conditioned emotional response is an "emotional response" that results from classical conditioning, usually from the association of a relatively neutral stimulus with a painful or fear-inducing unconditional stimulus. As a result, the formerly neutral stimulus elicits fear. For example, if seeing a dog (a neutral stimulus) is paired with the pain of being bitten by the dog (unconditioned stimulus), seeing a dog may become a conditioned stimulus that elicits fear (conditioned response).
