Answer:

Megaliths were large stones thought to be used to observe the sky by ancient astronomers.

Explanation:

We can easily eliminate the first two options. They are indeed instruments used to observe astronomical movements, bodies, etc. However, they are simply not stones, so they are not related to the question.

We are left with megaliths and gastroliths, both words ending with the suffix -lith, which means they are both related to stones. "Gastro" refers to something related to the stomach, which is precisely the case here. A gastrolith is a stone found within the stomach of some animals. Finally, we are left with megaliths, large stones used to build monuments in ancient times which were likely used as very rudimentary astronomical observatories.

conditioned stimulus

In classical conditioning<span>, a conditioned stimulus is one which is previously a neutral stimulus, which, upon becoming associated with an unconditioned stimulus, eventually triggers a conditioned response. 
</span>
An unconditioned stimulus is one which <span>unconditionally, naturally, and automatically elicits or triggers a(n) (unconditioned) response. For example, the smell of food usually triggers hunger.

In contrast, a conditioned stimulus is one which initially does not trigger the same response as the unconditioned stimulus, but because of association, eventually triggers the same response as well. The response to a conditioned stimulus is a conditioned response.

For example, in the famous experiment by Ivan Pavlov, the sound of a bell was paired with the serving of food to dogs. Dogs naturally salivate upon smelling/seeing the food. However, later on, even without the food, when the dogs heard the sound of the bell, they began salivating. The sound of the  bell is the conditioned stimulus, while the salivation of the dog in response to the conditioned stimulus, the bell, is called a conditioned response. </span>
