Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": You are required to attend defensive driving classes after you get caught texting while driving.

Explanation:

Part of psychologist B.F. Skinner's operant conditioning theory (1938), negative punishment is intended to lower a specific undesired behavior. It implies taking something wanted away in order to reduce that particular behavior.

In the example, in all the options something is taken away except in choice letter "D", where attending defensive driving classes is requested for texting while driving.
