Answer: C) A conditioned response.

Explanation: Conditional response arise from experience. The subject is exposed to the conditional stimulus (not natural) and responds in a certain way. From experience, therefore, learning arises. A conditional response can be, for example, the fear of the dark, one man does not born with this fear, however a bad experience can trigger it.
