Whoa, hold up. I'm going to have to go with C) Extinction. If we stop reinforcing the behavior altogether, it'll just go away, no messing around!

I think A) Continuous reinforcement is the way to go. Keep that positive feedback coming, no matter what! Consistency is key, right?

I'm going with D) Ratio. Gotta keep those behaviors coming consistently, you know? It's like a personal trainer, but with more unpredictable rewards.
