Explanation:

Ivan Pavlov's experiment with dogs focused on classical conditioning. In classical conditioning, learning occurs when a conditioned stimulus (e.g., a bell) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (e.g., food). Over time, the conditioned stimulus alone can elicit a response (salivation, similar to the response to the unconditioned stimulus). Option A is about fear as a conditioned response (more related to Watson's Little Albert experiment). Option C is about observational learning (Bandura's work). Option D is about operant conditioning (Skinner's work, related to reinforcements and punishments). Option B correctly describes the core mechanism of Pavlov's experiment - pairing a conditioned stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus for learning (classical conditioning).

Answer:

B. Learning can occur when a conditioned stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
