The unconditioned stimulus refers to a stimulus that naturally triggers a response without any prior learning or conditioning. Therefore, option C is the correct statement. Option A is incorrect because the unconditioned stimulus is already associated with the response without any learning. Option B is incorrect because the unconditioned stimulus is not dependent on the presence of the conditioned stimulus. Option D is also incorrect because the emission of the unconditioned response is not related to the unconditioned stimulus.
