I think A is the way to go. Equal increments in the criterion level would be a clear, systematic way to show the effect.

D sounds like the correct answer to me. If the behavior changes concurrently with the criterion level, that's the best demonstration of experimental control.

I think D) behavior changes concurrently with the criterion level could also be a good option, as it shows a direct relationship between the two.

I agree with Mee, setting the criterion level well above the behavior ensures a clear demonstration of experimental control.
