I think I got it! The answer is D. Varying the cues in the natural environment to match the training setting? That's like trying to make a square peg fit in a round hole. Not gonna happen!

You're correct! D is not an appropriate method. We need to focus on making the behavior transferable to real-life situations.

I'm going with C. Training others to reinforce the behavior in the natural setting seems like a great way to promote maintenance and generalization. Who needs the training environment when you've got a whole community of reinforcers?

Maybe a combination of C and D would be the most effective approach. It's always good to have a variety of strategies for promoting maintenance and generalization.
