Option C seems like the best choice to me. A discriminative stimulus can be established using either operant or respondent conditioning procedures.

I think option B is the correct answer. A discriminative stimulus is defined by its effect on behavior, not necessarily whether it always elicits a response.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be B, as discriminative stimuli are defined by their effect on behavior.
