In all the given options, there is a transfer of a learned response to a new, similar stimulus. This is the definition of stimulus generalization.

A. A child who has been conditioned to fear a white rabbit also shows fear towards other white, fluffy animals. - This is an example of stimulus generalization as the child is transferring the fear response to other similar stimuli (white, fluffy animals). B. A dog trained to salivate at the sound of a bell also begins to salivate at the sound of a doorbell. - This is not an example of stimulus generalization. While the dog is responding to a new stimulus, the doorbell doesn't share enough similarities with the original stimulus (bell) to be considered stimulus generalization. C. A person who learned to associate the smell of roses with happy memories also feels happy when smelling other flowers. - This is an example of stimulus generalization as the person is transferring the positive emotional response to other similar stimuli (smell of other flowers).

Based on the above examination, option A and option C are examples of stimulus generalization. Therefore, the correct answer is: D. All of the above.
