Answer: A
Learning by watching and imitating the behaviour of others is observational learning, also called social learning or modelling, and it is best known through the work of Albert Bandura, in the Bobo doll experiments. Pavlov studied classical conditioning, Watson studied behaviourism and emotional conditioning, and Skinner studied operant conditioning, so none of them is linked with 'observational' learning. 'Secondary' learning is not a recognized term here. In the Bobo doll study children who watched an adult hit the doll copied that behaviour, which shows that learning can take place without direct reinforcement. The answer is observational: Bandura.
