D
Negative Punishment
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Positive reinforcement can include food treats, praise, petting, or a favorite toy or game. Since most dogs are highly food-motivated, food treats work especially well for training. A treat should be enticing and irresistible to your pet.

Detailed explanation-2: -The simplest type of reinforcement schedule is a Continuous reinforcement schedule. In this case every correct behaviour that meets the established criteria is reinforced. For example, the dog gets a treat every time it sits when asked to do so; the salesman gets paid every time he sells a book.

Detailed explanation-3: -Positive Reinforcement (+R): If you want your dog to repeat a behavior more frequently, reward that behavior in some way. Negative Punishment (-P): If you want your dog to repeat a behavior less frequently, remove any reward or perceived award for the behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -Think “Consequences”-or the fact that dogs learn through actions resulting in rewards or punishments. For example: You have trained your dog to sit and become calm before putting the leash on to go for a walk. In this case the dog must perform a voluntary action of sitting and relaxing.
