    Answer: Sounds of Thunder

    Explanation: Unconditioned stimulus are events which naturally or unconditionally triggers a response that wasn't pre-determined. In the scenario above, Ethan jumps at the noise of the thunder, here Ethan's response was not pre-determined and was only triggered by the noise of the thunder. Therefore, The Thunderclap is the Unconditioned stimulus.

    Ethan's jump in response to the lightning bolt is a conditioned response as he braved for the noise of the thunder which he expects to follow after the lightning.
