BLearning is the encoding of information in long-term-memory.

DRespondent behavior is elicited in the presence of unconditioned stimuli.
Correct answer: (C) Language doesn't play any role in self-regulation.
Explanation

Language does play a major role in self-regulation, so the statement that it plays no role is the incorrect one.

Inner speech and verbal self-instruction help learners plan, guide and control their own behaviour.

Operant behaviour is emitted in the presence of discriminative stimuli (option A) is a correct statement of operant conditioning.

Learning as the encoding of information in long-term memory (option B) is a correct cognitive statement.

Respondent behaviour is elicited in the presence of unconditioned stimuli (option D) is a correct statement of classical conditioning.

Vygotsky held that private speech turns inward to become inner speech, the basis of self-regulation.
