Answer:

C

Explanation:

Not knowing if you in a public area or not you not use negative or should you reward the child. You should keep your cool and make sure you do not give the child what he wants by screaming. So making sure the child stay quiet by saying to stay quiet and he might get a reward.

Answer:

Extinction of behavior maintained by positive reinforcement

Explanation:

Every time Timmy´s mom complies with the screaming and delivers him the drink she is rewarding and reinforcing his negative behavior.

To reverse the situation, Timmy´s mom should use the extinction of behavior by positive reinforcement, which is to consistently ignore the negative behavior over time

until the child realizes that those same actions won´t produce the same results anymore.
