Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus (CS) becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS), which reliably produces an unconditioned response (UCR). Through repeated pairings, the CS comes to signal the impending occurrence of the UCS, and eventually elicits a conditioned response (CR). Therefore, the correct answer is C, as the CS signals the impending occurrence of the UCS.
