Trace conditioning involves a delay between the conditioned stimulus (tone) and unconditioned stimulus (meat powder), with a brief neutral stimulus presented in between. Waiting a few moments before presenting the meat powder fits this description, making B the correct choice. Simultaneous conditioning would involve presenting the tone and meat powder at the same time, while backward conditioning would present the meat before the tone. Delayed conditioning involves presenting the tone and then immediately following it with the meat powder.
