You missed class the day classical conditioning was discussed, so you borrow your friend's notes. As you are reading the notes you see that the neutral stimulus was the bell, the UCS was food, and the UCR was salivation. As you look further in the notes, you cannot read what is written about the CS, since your friend was running out of ink as she took notes. Given what you can read, you reason that the CS is:

A. salivation-since that is the normal response to food
B. salivation-since the UCR becomes the CS
C. bell-since the neutral stimulus becomes the CS
D. food-since the UCS becomes the CS
