The answer is B) Behaviorism.

Behaviorism is the view that operates on a principle that all behavior in humans and animals is caused by external stimuli, in behavioral psychology this is called operant conditioning. In other words behavior is learned by an external cause/influence, therefore behavior can be explained without the need to consider internal mental states.
