  1. Termination
  2. Extinction
  3. Positive reward
  4. Negative reward
Explanation
Answer - B - Operant behavior requires a therapy that looks at the antecedent and consequence that causes a negative behavior. Reinforcement and punishment are the core tools that are either positive or negative. Extinction has been added to this theory when there is no change in consequences following a response. The therapy deals with modifications of voluntary behavior in regards to environmental influences.
