In a three-term contingency, the discriminative stimulus is the antecedent condition that sets the occasion for a behavior to occur, the response is the behavior emitted by the organism, and the consequence is the environmental event that follows the response and influences the probability of the behavior occurring again in similar conditions. Therefore, the correct sequence is discriminative stimulus, response, consequence. Choice A shows this correct sequence.
