Explanation

"Learning is an organization of behaviour" (i) is Garrett's (c) definition.

"Learning is the change in behaviour resulting from behaviour" (ii) is Guilford's (a) definition.

"Selecting the appropriate response and connecting it with the stimulus" (iii) is Thorndike's (d) definition.

"Learning is a process of progressive behaviour adaptation" (iv) is Skinner's (b) definition.

Thorndike's stimulus-response connectionism grew from his laws of readiness, exercise and effect.

Skinner extended this with operant conditioning, where reinforcement shapes voluntary behaviour.
