Shaping is
A
a pattern of responses that must be made before classical conditioning is completed
B
rewarding behaviors that get closer and closer to the desired goal behavior
C
completing a set of behaviors in succession before a reward is given
D
inhibition of new learning by previous learning
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Shaping is the use of reinforcement of successive approximations of a desired behavior. Specifically, when using a shaping technique, each approximate desired behavior that is demonstrated is reinforced, while behaviors that are not approximations of the desired behavior are not reinforced.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is positive reinforcement in simple words? Positive reinforcement refers to the process of rewarding or reinforcing desirable behavior in order to increase the likelihood that the behavior will be repeated in the future (Staddon & Cerruti, 2003).

Detailed explanation-3: -Shaping involves breaking down a new behavior into a series of steps, and gradually guiding the subject toward the desired outcome. Through shaping, children can learn new skills and positive behavior incrementally, often with their primary caregiver serving as the initial model.

Detailed explanation-4: -Shaping is the method of successive approximations. Shaping reinforces the behaviors as they get closer and closer to the desired behavior.
