Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In modeling, new responses are acquired through observation and imitation of others, and the learner may acquire the response before ever performing or displaying it themselves. This is different from reinforcement, where a behavior is learned through trial and error and reinforcement is used to increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future. The reference to a Skinner box and rats is unrelated to modeling. Therefore, the best choice is B.
