• D. behaviour is not acquired through conditioning

Answer 1

Answer:

B. behaviour is acquired through conditioning

Behaviourism says that all behaviour is acquired through conditioning.

According to behaviourist theory, behaviour is learned from the environment through processes like classical conditioning (associating stimuli with responses) and operant conditioning (learning through rewards and punishments). Behaviourism focuses on observable behaviours rather than internal mental states.
