Final answer:
All of the options except staying away from the person who will punish you can inhibit punishment effectiveness in operant conditioning. The correct answer is B).
Step-by-step explanation:
According to operant conditioning, all of the options except B) Staying away from the person who will punish you when you have engaged in the behavior to be punished can inhibit punishment from being effective.
For example, engaging in an incompatible behavior to the behavior being punished, conditioned responses that may elicit cravings to engage in the punished behavior, and lying to prevent punishment can all undermine the effectiveness of punishment.
Therefore, staying away from the person who will punish you when you have engaged in the behavior to be punished is not an inhibitory factor.
