    (C) autoshaping.

    Explanation:

    Autoshaping refers to a variety of experimental procedures used in classical conditioning. Autoshaping takes place when a reinforcer is paired with a stimulus. This stimulus is independent of the subject initially. This changes when the subject makes a response to the stimulus. From then on, the reinforcer is contingent on the response to the stimulus, thus bringing it under operant control.
