Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Social learning theory, proposed by Albert Bandura, suggests that behaviors, including aggressive responses, can be learned through observation and imitation of others, without the need for direct reinforcement. This contrasts with traditional behaviorist views that emphasize direct reinforcement. Choices B and C are not directly related to the principles of social learning theory.
