Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Operant conditioning, a learning process developed by B.F. Skinner, involves learning through the consequences of behavior, which can be both conscious and unconscious. Individuals might not always be aware of the reasons behind the reinforcement or punishment of certain behaviors, making the causes of behavior influenced by operant conditioning both conscious and unconscious.
