Which statement correctly describes the law of effect?

Explanation

Option A is incorrect because the law of effect is distinct from Pavlov’s classical conditioning. Option B is partially correct in terminology but does not define the law of effect itself. Option C accurately reflects the law of effect, which states that behaviors followed by satisfying outcomes are more likely to be repeated, forming a stimulus-response association. Option D contradicts the principle of the law of effect, which emphasizes the role of consequences in shaping behavior.
