How to think about questions like this

Application questions test whether you can connect a real-world example to the right framework. The trick is to ignore the surface details (industry, company name) and focus on the underlying mechanic the example illustrates.

For Classical Conditioning specifically, look for the signal: Brand-emotion associations built over time are nearly impossible for competitors to replicate. That signal is what distinguishes the right answer from plausible-sounding alternatives.
