The correct answer is B. learn the maze more quickly than rats that have never been exposed to the maze.

Explanation:

Operant conditioning studies have shown that animals' learn something faster when their behavior is being reinforced. There are four types of reinforcement, and rewarding in one of them. Rewarding means adding something that is considered good or likable to motivate a desired behavior. In the case of the rats, the reward is food. When they understand food will be given after a certain behavior is carried out, the rats begin to learn that behavior faster.
