Explanation:

Vicarious reinforcement occurs when an individual's behavior is influenced by observing the consequences of another's behavior. In the first option, Babs sees Martin get a reward (candy bar) for completing his reading list and is then motivated to complete her own list. This is vicarious reinforcement. The second option is about Lana knowing the rules and getting a reward based on her own behavior, not observing someone else. The third option is about Park avoiding punishment for his own self - interest, not observing others. The fourth option is an example of vicarious punishment as Ryan sees Cameron punished and then changes his behavior.
