Classical conditioning involves learning to associate an initially neutral stimulus with a stimulus that naturally evokes a response. In choice B, feeling a craving for a drug at a particular location where the drug has been taken before illustrates classical conditioning because the location (initially a neutral stimulus) becomes associated with the effects of the drug (a stimulus that naturally evokes a craving response).
