The correct answer is A. The name "B.F. Skinner" should be changed to "Albert Bandura."

Explanation:

The Social Learning Theory was proposed and developed by Albert Bandura a Canadian-American cognitive psychologist who found behaviors can be the result of imitation and interaction. In this context, the sentence is incorrect because this theory was proposed by Bandura and not by Skinner who proposed a theory related to conditioning.

Moreover, the proposal of Bandura includes the three models: live (individuals learn by interacting with others or observing them), verbal (individuals learn through explanations), and symbolic (individuals learn behaviors through symbols such as fictional characters). According to this, the correct answer is A.
