The correct answer is operant conditioning.
This type of conditioning is controlled by consequences - meaning that, depending on the type of reinforcement/punishment, an individual will either repeat or stop doing something. For example, if a child wants to touch a stove, once it does that, it will burn its hand, and after that happens, it won't do it again.
