The question is asking when extinction is most likely to occur.

CS means conditioned stimulus.

US means unconditioned stimulus.

My best guess is that the answer is B.
B definitely is the answer.

From my introductory psychology notes at http://www.members.cox.net/dagershaw/index.html

Extinction is the reduction of the CR, when reinforcement (US) is not given for extended period.

Your topic seems to be generally "conditioning" rather than "dog behavior." You might want to explore the notes on learning on my site for future questions.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
