As a behaviorist, I can tell you that the correct answer is A. Punishment may work in the short term, but the behavior will likely come back once it stops. Gotta love Skinner's work, am I right?

Wow, D? That would just be a waste of time. Punishment has to have some effect, even if it's not the desired one. I'm leaning towards A or B here.

Haha, C? Really? Punishing a behavior is supposed to make it happen more often? Come on, that's just silly. I'm sticking with A.

I'm going with B. Skinner's work suggests that well-designed punishment can permanently stop an undesired behavior. Seems like the most likely scenario to me.

It's important to consider the potential consequences of using punishment as a behavior modification technique.

But what if the punishment is severe enough to permanently suppress the behavior?

Option A seems like the obvious choice here. Behaviorists like Skinner have shown that punishment often leads to the behavior returning once the punishment stops. Suppressing a behavior for good is much harder.
