  • B. Conditioned stimulus, conditioned response, unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response
  • C. Unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned response
  • D. Unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, conditioned response
  • E. Conditioned response, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, unconditioned stimulus

Food naturally produces salivation, making food the unconditioned stimulus and salivation the unconditioned response. After light is paired with food, light becomes the conditioned stimulus and salivation to light becomes the conditioned response.
