Final Answer :
D

Laura's increased heart rate when she smelled Old Spice is a conditioned response, as it was learned through the association with Luke's kisses and the use of Old Spice after shave. The smell of Old Spice became a conditioned stimulus that elicited the conditioned response of an increased heart rate.
