Loud noises, such as her clock's alarm, cause Chloe to startle into a state of high awareness. Just before the alarm goes off, the clock makes a light clicking noise, which initially Chloe didn't even notice. Now that she has had the clock for some time, Chloe has found that she startles into wakefulness when the clock makes the clicking noise, before the alarm even goes off. In this example, the conditioned response is:
a. the alarm
b. the clicking noise
c. the state of high awareness
d. turning the alarm off
c. the state of high awareness
