This question is asking about associative learning, which is the process by which we learn to form associations between stimuli and responses. Biological predispositions refer to the innate tendencies or limitations that influence how easily or readily we can learn certain associations. In this case, we are seeing an example of how illness caused by contaminated food can lead to an aversion to the taste of the food, but not to other associated cues such as the restaurant or music. This suggests that our learning is constrained by our biological predispositions, which make it easier for us to form certain associations (such as between illness and specific tastes) but harder to form others (such as between illness and restaurant environments). Thus, the correct answer is B) biological predispositions.
