Final Answer : B, Explanation :  While classical and operant conditioning both involve the learning of associations, building on previously established behaviors, and the control of responses by stimuli in the environment, responses learned through them will not necessarily last forever. Both types of conditioning may involve extinction, in which previously learned associations or behaviors weaken or disappear over time if the reinforcement or pairing with a stimulus is no longer present.
