During acquisition in classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus are presented very close together in time. This leads to the formation of an association between the two stimuli, which results in the conditioned stimulus acquiring the ability to elicit a conditioned response. Option A is incorrect because during acquisition, both the unconditioned stimulus and the conditioned stimulus are presented together, not just the unconditioned stimulus. Option C is incorrect because the conditioned stimulus continues to be significant in eliciting the conditioned response even after acquisition. Option D is incorrect because the unconditioned stimulus still retains its ability to elicit an unconditional response from the subject.
