Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which behavior is diminished if followed by a punisher. Delayed conditioning refers to a type of classical conditioning where there is a time delay between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus. Classical conditioning involves learning through association between two stimuli, while secondary conditioning refers to the process of pairing a neutral stimulus with a conditioned stimulus to create a new association. Therefore, the best answer is D, operant conditioning.
