Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: D) This situation demonstrates operant conditioning. Carlos introduced a new reward that was given every time Jim arrived on time. Conversely, when Jim was tardy, the new policy of making up the time during lunch was introduced. As a result, Jim's behavior was changed via the rewards and punishments Carlos applied.
