Maria's blinking is a response to something - it is her reaction to the flash (blinking protects her eyes from too much light) - but the camera is a stimulus - the thing that Maria reacts to.

So we know, it will be a stimulus. Now, it will be a conditioned stimulus, because this reaction is learnt and not "natural" (present without learning) - therefore it will be a conditioned stimulus.

Based on the effect the flash has on Maria, we can refer to it as a Conditioned stimulus.

What is a conditioned stimulus?

It refers to a variable that elicits a reaction from the subject.
It is built up overtime as a result of repeated occurrence.

Because Maria kept blinking when her picture was taken, this became a conditioned response to the condition stimuli of the flash that causes the blinking.

In conclusion, option C is correct.
