A). Acquired equivalence.

Explanation:

'Acquired equivalence' is demonstrated as the ability to generalize instantly when new examples are being taught explicitly from the past reinforcements.

In the given example, Chloe's strategic inference that 'babies who cry a lot are also highly intelligent' reflects the 'acquired equivalence.' Her immediate generalization is based on the new examples she has recently been exposed to by associating it to her episodic memories ('her prior learning that babies who cry a lot also have trouble sleeping'). Thus, option A is the correct answer.
