Clara and Ashley ate dinner at a new restaurant last night. The entire restaurant was decorated in green, and the sound of waterfalls played in the background.

Four hours after they had eaten they both started vomiting violently and were taken to the hospital by ambulance, with the sirens wailing. Which of the following is most likely to elicit conditioned responses from Clara and Ashley, based on research conducted by Garcia and his colleagues?
