The fact that Sofia's results are consistent with the hypothesis derived from a cognitive account of classical conditioning does not mean that the theory is proven, unfalsified, or statistically significant. It suggests that the hypothesis may be a valid explanation for the observed phenomena, but subsequent research could still refute it, thus proving it incorrect. Therefore, option B, the theory may be disproven by subsequent research, is the most appropriate.
