B for sure

habituation is the simplest form of all learning, and merely represents becomming accustomed to a stimulus in the environment, so much so that you cease to respond to it.

if I'm wrong lisachem is yet again untrustworthy

erghhhh. It's only in the heinemann textbook (Don't worry y'all I've got my sister's copy of grivas to back me up ;) )  which is absolute shit so I doubt you'd need to know it, not really a difficult concept anyway. Just think of living next to railway tracks eventually you would ignore the sound..

habituation is on the next study design, but not this one.

It is a form of learning, although it's classified as a non-associate learning (contrast to classical and operant conditioning, which are associative).
