HELPPP!!!!!!!

Esperanza screams when she gets upset, and her father wants her to stop screaming. Esperanza's father gives her a stern look the next time she shrieks, which makes her get quiet very suddenly. What is this an example of?

This is an example of Negative Reinforcement because it is reinforcement that will make sure the behavior will stop.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The correct one is D Threatening

Step-by-step explanation:

Threatening is when we show a threat, meaning that the one who threats says in a bad way that something bad will hapen if their oders, actios, are not followed. Threatening behaviour is when you make feel fear of you to another person in order to them accomplish what you ask for. In the eample above, we can see how Esperanza behaves well and stops screaming once her father gives her a stern look, what makes her behave as he wants. This clearly fits the description of what threatening is.
