Answer: D. Anticipates events
Explanation: Classical conditioning is actually a type of learning where a conditioned stimulus, one given under a condition, elicits some unconditional stimulation and becomes associated with that unconditioned stimulus after several repetitions. That unconditional stimulus, prior to these repetitions of conditioned stimuli, had nothing to do. After several repetitions of the conditional stimulus, a conjunction of the conditioned and unconditioned stimulus occurs, whereby the unconditioned stimulus becomes a behavioural response called a conditional response.
In other words, conditioned learning achieves connection, that is, association / associative learning of, previously, unrelated stimuli, and then a certain association is obtained, that is, a response to a particular stimulus. Therefore, conditioning that encourages associative learning acquires learned connections and associations that can predict events, which are actually learned responses to particular stimuli.
