Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Classical conditioning involves the association of a neutral stimulus with a natural response. In this case, the sights, sounds, and smells associated with the clinic were previously neutral stimuli, but after being paired with chemotherapy-induced nausea, they now elicit a conditioned response of nausea.
