I’m torn between C and D. C seems like it could lead to more issues, but D might be too complex to implement effectively.

I feel like we practiced a similar question where blocking the behavior was mentioned, but I’m not confident it would work in this case.

I think option D sounds familiar because it combines safety with teaching a replacement behavior. That seems like a good strategy.

I remember we discussed extinction in class, but I'm not sure if it's the best approach here since the behavior could lead to injury.
