Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Magnus has been conditioned to associate the word "sit" with receiving a reward (bacon and a pat on the head), which has led to the development of a conditioned response (salivating and wagging tail). Therefore, hearing the word "sit" is most likely going to make Magnus salivate, even without the presence of the actual reward.
