Answer:

The correct answer is (i)BAS

Step-by-step explanation:

The behavioral approach system (BAS) responds to conditioned appetitive signals (reward or completion or omission of a punishment), activating the approach behavior towards said signal or stimulus, in other words, the behavioral activation system is a neurological mechanism that encourages an approach towards stimuli that have been conditioned in a positive way (that is, that are associated with desirable results or that allow avoiding adverse consequences), thereby motivating the active search of their spatial and temporal proximity. In general terms, this system is capable of guiding the organism towards objectives that it needs to obtain. BAS has been linked to positive affect or mood and its over-activation is implicated in impulsivity.
