Answer: D
The basic difference between classical conditioning and instrumental learning is of mechanism.
In classical conditioning a stimulus is paired with another and the response is elicited automatically. In instrumental learning the organism emits a response that operates on the environment and is shaped by its consequences. The processes at work are different, which is the difference in mechanism.
The presentation of stimulus and the emitting of response are only features of this difference, and temporal contiguity is needed in both, so they are not the basic difference.
