Question

Please help me solve the following question, explain and make sure everything it correct, thank you 

When testing for categorization in pigeons, Herrnstein (1979) taught pigeons to
categorize trees by discriminating trees from non-trees. Which is a correct finding
from this study?
a) Pigeons learned to successfully discriminate pictures of trees from pictures
without trees, but could not successfully generalize this skill to novel/new
tree pictures.
b) Pigeons learned to successfully discriminate pictures of trees from pictures
without trees, but could not successfully discriminate other stimuli (i.e., to
identify pictures of animals).
c) Pigeons learned to successfully discriminate pictures of trees from pictures
without trees, and also successfully generalized this skill to novel/new tree
pictures.
d) Pigeons could not learn to successfully discriminate pictures of trees from
pictures without trees, but could successfully discriminate other stimuli (i.e.,
to identify pictures of animals).
