    Correct Answer
    A. Conditioning Theory

It suggests that behaviors can be learned through reinforcement or punishment, and that they can be modified or extinguished through conditioning techniques. Social Cognitive Theory, on the other hand, focuses on the role of observational learning and cognitive processes in shaping behavior.
