The correct answer would be Fixed Ratio. This type of reinforcement scheduled is called as the Fixed Ratio Reinforcement.

Explanation:

When a subject, either a person or animal, gets or receives reinforcement after every nth number of response, then this reinforcement is called as the Fixed Ratio Reinforcement. In fixed ratio reinforcement, the response is given after a certain fixed number of attempts. In this process, the subject learns that he will get the reward after performing the action for a certain fixed number of times.

For example, as described in this question, the rat is given food after the rat presses the lever five times. If the rat presses less than five times, no food will be given. It means here the fixed number is Five times, after which the reward is given.
