Explanation:

Positive reinforcement involves adding a desirable stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior repeating.

• The first option adds a reward (5 dollars) for getting A's, which is positive reinforcement.
• The second option is negative punishment (removing a desirable item to decrease a behavior).
• The third option is positive punishment (adding an unpleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior).
• The fourth option is negative reinforcement (removing an unpleasant stimulus to increase a behavior).

Answer:

Amari receiving 5 dollars for every A on her reportcard
