Answer:

Negative reinforcement in operant a) increases the frequency of a behavior.

Explanation:

Operating conditioning is a coping process that usually occurs by individual's behavioral rewards and punishments. Normally a person makes a contact between a specific behavior and an outcome by operant conditioning (Skinner, 1938). He called this method the conditioning of the operant.

In general, "negative reinforcement" is a concept defined by B. F. Skinner's operant conditioning theory. In negative reinforcement, by preventing, eliminating, or avoiding a bad outcome or undesired stimulus, an action or reaction is reinforced.
