e. stimulus discrimination.

Explanation:

Stimulus discrimination refers to the term used in both classical conditioning and operative conditioning. It includes the understanding of the difference between one stimulus and an identical stimulus. In both the above mentioned cases, it implies only responding to particular stimuli, and not responding to identical ones. In both the above mentioned cases, it implies only responding to certain stimuli, and not responding to similar ones. As per the question, dog differentiates between the red and green bowl and responds only to the red bowl is a perfect example of stimulus discrimination.
