A
classical conditioning
B
positive reinforcement
C
punishers
D
negative reinforcement
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In negative reinforcement, the stimulus that is removed or avoided following the behavior is called an aversive stimulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Positive reinforcement is a process that strengthens the likelihood of a particular response by adding a stimulus after the behavior is performed. Negative reinforcement also strengthens the likelihood of a particular response, but by removing an undesirable consequence.

Detailed explanation-3: -In operant conditioning, positive reinforcement involves the addition of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior that makes it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future. When a favorable outcome, event, or reward occurs after an action, that particular response or behavior will be strengthened.

Detailed explanation-4: -A behavior that is strengthened through the process of reinforcement is called an operant behavior. The operant behavior of the rat pressing the lever was reinforced in Skinner’s experiments.
