Final Answer : B, Explanation :  In classical conditioning, the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is the natural or innate stimulus that elicits an unconditioned response (UCR) without any prior learning. In this case, the meat powder is the UCS because it naturally elicits salivation in dogs. Through conditioning, the UCS becomes associated with a conditioned stimulus (CS) that was not originally associated with the UCR. Here, the CS is the presentation of the meat powder before salivation, which eventually becomes associated with the UCS of the meat powder so that the dog salivates to the CS alone. Once this association has been formed, the response to the CS (salivation) is called the conditioned response (CR). Therefore, the correct answer is B, with meat powder being the UCS and salivation being the UCR.
