I FINALLY got the answer !!!

okay lets start with what we do know for sure:

choice A and F are definitely wrong

choice B classical conditioning :" ring food bell, then the mouth waters " is not seen here, because the ringing of the pager made the child stop paying attention,so action was lost not gained, there for this choice is wrong as well

choice C habitual: according to the medical encyclopedias i have read, habituation is a gradual adaptation to an environmental stimulus with a decreasing response as time goes on. Thus this choice fits the case like a glove !

choice D partial reinforcement : there is no reward involved in this ICU setting, thus no form of reinforcement can be the right answer.

choice e punishment: after the occurrence of a stimulus, then a new Stimuli is added to oppose, and stop the 1st stimuli, and since the child did nothing to the 1st stimuli, then this means this choice is wrong.
