Question

which best describes the effect negative incentives have on a certain course of action?
○ they make the action impossible.
○ they make the action more profitable.
○ they make the action difficult.
○ they make the action less likely.

Explanation:

Negative incentives are penalties or disincentives that discourage a specific behavior. They do not make an action impossible or difficult (as the action can still be taken), nor do they increase its profitability. Instead, they reduce the likelihood that someone will choose to take that action.

Answer:

D. They make the action less likely.
