Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
This scenario best illustrates latent learning because although Josh observed the aggressive behaviors in the movie, he did not immediately imitate them. Instead, he exhibited the behavior days later after being offered money, suggesting that the learning was not immediately evident but rather was "hidden" until a certain motivating factor (money) was introduced.
