Discrimination refers to the ability to differentiate between two similar stimuli and respond differently to them. In this case, the individual is able to distinguish between the higher pitched front doorbell and the lower pitched back doorbell and respond to them appropriately. Generalization, higher-order conditioning, and response generalization are not applicable to this scenario.
