Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

I would run two conditions of a functional analysis. One condition in which when Larry's dad is busy, and Larry throws a tantrum, his dad reinforces his problem behavior by sitting down and talking with him. The other condition would be one in which Larry's dad provides frequent attention, and if Larry throws a tantrum, his dad continues to work and does not reinforce his problem behavior by sitting down and talking with him.
