In other words, if a demonstrator had eaten cocoa-flavored food, observers would prefer cocoa-scented food without having experienced the food themselves (see data below, CO = cocoa, CIN = cinnamon).

What would the results look like for the corresponding experiment in which the demonstrator fed on cinnamon-flavored food?
a. The results would be identical to the data shown above.
b. The observer rats would prefer cinnamon instead.
c. The observer rats would not discriminate between both flavors.
d. The observer rats would eat neither food as they did not have previous experience with cocoa or cinnamon.
