Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The study by Razran demonstrates classical conditioning as the participants formed more positive attitudes towards the slogans when they were paired with a free lunch. The positive response to the slogans was a result of the pairing of the neutral stimuli (slogans) with the positive stimuli (free lunch), which is the mechanism of classical conditioning.
