Answer
c. a conditioned stimulus
Explanation
In classical conditioning, a conditioned stimulus is a previously neutral stimulus that, after being associated with an unconditioned stimulus, triggers a conditioned response. Tasha's fear of the dark, developed from her brothers' stories, indicates that the dark has become a conditioned stimulus.
