Classical conditioning occurred because Maggie paired a neutral stimulus, a song, with an unconditioned stimulus, a certain time of day, when Jess always felt hungry. Over time, the song became a conditioned stimulus that triggered hunger in Jess, even when it was played at a different time than usual. Choices A, B, and D do not accurately describe the process of classical conditioning that occurred in this situation.
