Answer:

C). Emotion can be a conditioned response.

Step-by-step explanation:

A conditioned response is described as the reaction or response that occurs as a learning after 'associating it to the stimulus that was previously neutral'. Such a response is the outcome of an association between the anatomically potent stimulus and the neutral stimulus that produces a learned or conditioned response.

As per the question, the studies of Rosalie Rayner and Little Albert reveal that 'emotion can be a conditioned response.' To illustrate; if a person goes through a dreadful experience with something, next the natural dreadful or fearful response(linking of the stimulus by associating it to the previous experience) evoked by him/her would be 'a conditioned or learned response'. Therefore, 'emotions can be a conditioned response' and hence, option C is the correct answer.
