The correct option is letter b. The word "operant" should be changed to the word "classical."

Explanation:

It is not in operant but in classical conditioning that organisms learn to associate events that repeatedly happen together. An example of classical conditioning would be as follows:

Running releases endorphins, which makes you feel good. That response to running is involuntary, you did not have to learn it. Now, imagine you go running while listening to your favorite song. If you do this repeatedly, your brain will eventually associate the stimuli. It will think, "My favorite song is playing, I will be going running soon!" That can cause you to feel good, even if you're not running yet.
