Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Conditioned emotional response training involves pairing a neutral stimulus (like a tone) with an aversive stimulus (like a shock) to create a learned emotional reaction to the neutral stimulus. In this scenario, the rat learns to associate the tone with the shock, leading to suppression of bar pressing when the tone is on, even without the shock being present.
