I remember discussing how reinforcement frequency for alternative behavior can actually make punishment less effective, but I’m not confident about the specifics.

I’m leaning towards option C being the right answer since it sounds like it would confuse the subject more than help them learn.

I feel like we covered something similar in class. Intermittent delivery of punishment seems to make it less effective, but I can't recall the details.
