Alyssa Frank · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Behaviorism emerged as a rejection of the introspective methods of structuralism, which relied on subjective self-report, and instead advocated for the study of observable behavior. The views of Watson and Pavlov were influential in the development of behaviorism, but they were not the targets of the protest that led to its emergence. Ethology is a separate field concerned with the study of animal behavior in natural environments and is not directly related to the history of behaviorism.
