The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

In classical conditioning, extinction occurs when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is presented without the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) repeatedly. Over time, the conditioned response (CR) diminishes as the association weakens.

Example: If a bell (CS) is rung but no food (UCS) follows, the salivation (CR) decreases.
