Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

C. craving soda and coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditioned response for the strong urge for coffee or soda is the craving for soda and coffee. Classical conditioning involves the associations of an unconditioned, unrelated stimulus to a conditioned stimulus in order to elicit a conditioned response. During studying, Edwards has associated taking coffee or soda (conditioned stimulus) with writing exams (unconditioned stimulus) which then elicits a craving for coffee and soda (conditioned response) during exams.
