Explanation / Answer

5. The correct answer is option B

Explanation : In general reinforcements are used to increase a behaviour while punishments are used to decrease one. In the above example a pleasant or positive stimulus is removed in order to decrease the scratching behaviour. As something is removed (negative) in order to decrease behaviour(punishment) it is negative punishment otherwise ifian aversive srimulus was presented it would have been a positive punishment. Also as the goal is to reduce behaviour and not increase it, it isnt reinforcement of any kind.
