Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

With fixed interval schedules of reinforcement, behavior is rewarded after regular time intervals. The reinforced behavior occurs at a low frequency during the early part of the interval and gradually rises as the time for reinforcement draws closer. After the reinforcement, the behavior once again declines in frequency.
