Answer:

D. An ineffective way to reduce or change behaviors in the long term

Step-by-step explanation:

Section 4.1 says "Punishment leads to fear and anger, and lowers the child's feeling of worth and value. Generally, punishment is an ineffective way to achieve long-term changes in behavior."

This is directly from Pennfoster. I haven't seen any right answers and wanted to help. This is 100% correct, hope this helps! :)
