Psychology!!!

b. Threat of punishment

c. Electric shock

d. Smell of popcorn

Answer 1

the answer is clearly "d", the smell of popcorn. The other options are all examples of incentives, because they're all potential motivators for behavior. But the smell of popcorn is not an incentive, it's just a smell!
