I think C is the correct answer. The effect of a reinforcer is likely to be stronger when the individual is deprived of it, as they'll value it more.

I'm not sure about that. I think it could also be D) The effect of the reinforcer will weaken if a variable interval schedule is used.

I agree with Heidy. When there is relevant deprivation, the reinforcer tends to have a stronger effect.
