Classical conditioning requires pairing an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) with a neutral stimulus (NS) to eventually elicit a conditioned response (CR). Choice D does not involve any pairing of stimuli, so it would not result in classical conditioning. Choices A, B, and C all involve pairing a stimulus (triangle, pinprick, or electric shock) with food, so they are more likely to result in classical conditioning.
