Answer:

This is an example of B. Stimulus enhancement.

Explanation:

Stimulus enhancement refers to the ability to <em>learn the relation between a stimulus and its consequences.</em> This is learnt by observing another individual or being carry a certain action out.

In this case, one dog starts sniffing for potential scraps of food; this action enhances the other dogs to copy the sniffing behavior, even in different areas.
