Answer:C.stimulus control

Explanation:Stimulus control is a concept which defines stimulus that are capable of triggering a certain behavior when they are present or when they are absent. For example Brenda's eating behavior is controlled by the presence of junk food which triggers some cravings from her but when she has removed this type of food she is able to eat healthy. So in the absence of this stimulus Brenda is able to maintain a healthy behavior.
