Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Operant Conditioning is a method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behaviour in other words it is a type of learning in which an individual’s behaviour is modified by its consequences or the response the behaviour gets. The behaviour may change in form, frequency, or strength.

Detailed explanation-2: -Operant conditioning is built on the foundation of rewards and punishment: when our behavior is rewarded, we are encouraged to repeat or continue that behavior, and when our behavior is punished, we are discouraged from repeating or continuing that behavior.
