I'm not sure, but I think D could also be a behavioral contingency because Doris's response is a behavior that is contingent on being asked to do something.

I agree with Arlene. Susan hitting her head on the wall and being asked to stop is a behavioral contingency.

Option D seems like the clear behavioral contingency here. Doris' response is directly tied to the request to do her tasks.
