Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Both designs are A-B-A-B designs. A reversal design involves actively trying to reverse the effects of the intervention to encourage responding of the target behavior to revert to or at least towards baseline levels during the second A phase. For example, a student who has decreased his instances of talking out in class might have whatever original procedures once again instituted during the second A phase that were present in the original A (baseline phase). That is, the teacher provides attention to the student each time he talks out resulting in a rapid increase once again in talking out. The reintroduction of the intervention (the second B phase), if it replicates the success in the first B phase, provides an even stronger demonstration of the functional relationship. However, withdrawal designs where the intervention is removed but there is not an active attempt to encourage returns to baseline levels in the second A phase are much more commonly used.
