Answer 1

D, Spontaneous Recovery

Answer 2

The answer is extinction.

Step-by-step explanation:

In classical conditioning, extinction refers to the eventual cessation of a response to a stimulus. In other words, a subject stops reacting to a conditioned stimulus. In operant conditioning, exctinction may occur because the reinforcement is no longer present. For example, a child might stop cleaning his room if his mom stops rewarding or recognising him.
