I suggest you study the explanation of unconditioned stimulus and unconditioned response (UCS and UCR) in this site.

http://www.cliffsnotes.com/study_guide/Classical-Conditioning.topicArticleId-25438,articleId-25345.html

In light of that knowledge, does your answer make sense?
Classical conditioning is characterized by several factors.

I. The key relationship is associating antecedent events.

II. It originates with reflexive behavior. The behavior is "built in."

III. Classical conditioning is essentially a process of stimulus substitution. The response essentially remains the same.

IV. The response is elicited, since the behavior is reflexive.
