The conditioned response is the act of eating lunch when the individual sees both hands of the clock on the 12, indicating that it is noon. The other options are not the conditioned response, as eating breakfast is not related to the lunch eating behavior, counting the number of hours since breakfast is not a specific behavior, and watching the hands of the clock is simply a cue for the conditioned response (eating lunch).
