Answer:One of Watson's most enduring contributions to psychology was his:

A. insistence that mental events are appropriate subjects for psychologists to study.

John B. Watson was a behaviorist who argued that psychology should focus on observable behavior rather than unobservable mental events. His emphasis on studying observable behavior and the rejection of mentalism marked a significant shift in the field of psychology. So, option A is the correct answer.
