Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Generalization is the process by which stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus can also produce the conditioned response. In this case, the sight of plastic flowers triggers an allergy attack, indicating that the person has generalized their allergy response to other stimuli that resemble the allergen.
