During the acquisition phase of classical conditioning, the intensity of the conditioned response typically starts off low (as the conditioned stimulus is initially neutral), rises rapidly as the pairing with the unconditioned stimulus occurs, and then tapers off as the association between the two stimuli strengthens. Therefore, option B is the correct sequence.
