Explanation:

Question 15

A teratogen is an agent that causes birth defects or harm to a prenatal child. Alcohol is known to harm prenatal development, so it's a teratogen. "Drink" is a general term, "poison" is too broad, and "schema" is a cognitive concept unrelated here.

Transduction in psychology/sensory systems is the conversion of physical stimuli (like light, sound) into neural signals. "Transportation" is about moving, "transparent" is a property, "transformation" is a general change, not specific to sensory-neural conversion.

Extinction in operant conditioning occurs when a learned behavior (dog dancing for a treat) stops because the reinforcement (treat) is removed. "Generalization" is responding to similar stimuli, "discrimination" is distinguishing stimuli, "spontaneous recovery" is reappearance of extinct behavior, not the stopping.

Answer:

B. teratogen
