Classically conditioning a person or an animal involves pairing a neutral stimulus (conditioned stimulus) with an unconditioned stimulus that naturally elicits a response (unconditioned response), until the neutral stimulus alone can elicit the same response (now called a conditioned response). Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it states that the conditioned stimulus alone elicits the conditioned response.
