D) Student is sent to detention for fighting. Student is found in detention every week. - Haha, looks like someone needs to learn how reinforcement actually works!

A) A company gives an annual bonus to its employees. Employees are happy. - This is an example of positive reinforcement, but not necessarily the most likely example of reinforcing consequences.

B) Law enforcement officer gives a ticket to a speeder. Driver stops speeding. - While this is a good example, the question is asking for the most likely example, and C) seems more directly related to reinforcing consequences.

But wouldn't the student being sent to detention every week in option D also be an example of reinforcing consequences?

C) Child loses a sticker each time they talk out in class. Rates of talking out decrease. - This is the most likely example of reinforcing consequences, as the child's behavior is being directly influenced by the loss of the sticker.
