e. your crying

Explanation:

UR: The term UR is also referred to as the unconditioned response in the experiment of classical conditioning which was proposed by a famous psychologist named Ivan Pavlov.

In classical conditioning, the unconditioned response is any reflex action which is naturally elicited through a particular stimulus without the involvement of the learning process. The unconditioned response is the behavior that arises from a particular stimulus and occurs naturally.

In the question above, according to the given statement, the UR would be "your crying".
