Answer 1

Answer:

E. extinction    

Explanation:

Extinction: In psychology, the term "extinction" is described as a process in which a specific conditioned response becomes weak gradually that leads to the disappearance or decrease in the behavior associated with it. As a result, that particular conditioned behavior stops eventually and hence the response gets extinct. The concept of extinction is one of the parts of the conditioning process.

In the question above, Marta's experience best illustrates extinction.
