The answer is dog food. Classical conditioning refers to learning process in which a potent stimulus is harmonized with a former neutral stimulus. The neutral stimulus is also known as the conditioned stimulus (in this question, the dog food). It first brings out no response then when something is associated with the scream of the mother; it became now the conditioned stimulus.
