Answer: c. The probability of occurrence of a previously reinforced response increases in operant conditioning.
Explanation:
Only option C is an accurate statement about operant conditioning.
In operant conditioning, reinforcement refers to increasing the probability of occurrence of a specific behavior through a certain stimulus.
A neutral stimulus paired with an unconditioned stimulus is not part of operant conditioning; it´s part of the classical conditioning process.
The occurrence of a particular behavior is not independent but influenced by reinforcement in operant conditioning.
