Ann is an elementary school teacher in an area often hit by tornados. Ann's principal frequently sets the tornado alarm off to get students to practice for this situation and does not tell them if it is a drill or real alarm. She does, however, always sounds a distinct tone on the overhead speaker before the "drill" alarms so that only teachers know the forthcoming signal is for a drill and not a real incoming tornado. Compared to her students, how is Ann likely to respond to the alarm if she first hears this tone?
A. Her normal conditioned response (CR) of fear will be replaced by pleasant feelings and a sense of relaxation upon hearing the alarm.
B. Her normal conditioned response (CR) of fear will be inhibited and she will be able to calmly help her students respond to the alarm.
C. The unconditioned stimulus (UCS) of the alarm is so strong that she will continue to feel fearful and anxious upon hearing the alarm sound.
D. After hearing the "drill" tone, she will not pay attention to anything else on the overhead speaker and completely miss that the alarm was also activated.
