Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Positive reinforcement involves presenting a motivating item to the person after the desired behavior is exhibited, making the behavior more likely to happen in the future. Negative reinforcement involves removing a certain undesirable or negative outcome after the desired behavior is exhibited, also making the behavior more likely to happen in the future. Both are aimed at increasing the probability of a behavior, but they do so through different mechanisms.
