Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Respondent behavior refers to behavior that is elicited by specific stimuli. This is different from operant conditioning, which involves learning through consequences of behavior, and fixed-interval reinforcement, which involves reinforcing behavior after a certain amount of time has passed. Extinction refers to the process of decreasing the likelihood of a behavior by no longer providing reinforcement.
