Explanation / Answer

A punishment is a form of reinforcement which is used to make an individual to stop eliciting an undesirable behaviour. A positive punishment is taking away a pleasurable activity so that an undesirable behaviour is no longer elicited. On the other hand, a negative punishment is introducing an un-pleasurable stimulus in order to stop eliciting a certain behaviour. In the above example, an individual is fined for returning books late. A person does not want to pay the fine which is a negative punishment, so in order to avoid it, they return it in time so that they do not have to pay the fine.

Thus, the correct answer is option, D.
