In classical conditioning, the neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) to become a conditioned stimulus (CS) that elicits a conditioned response (CR). In the case of Little Albert, the white rat was originally neutral but became the conditioned stimulus after being paired with a loud noise (UCS), which elicited fear (UCR). Therefore, the answer is C, white rat as the neutral stimulus and loud noise as the UCS.
