Answer: INDEPENDENT GROUP CONTINGENCY.

Independent group contingency can be defined as reward system in which individuals earn rewards based on meeting a certain criterion. This method of Contingency encourages individuals to meet up with the said criterion that has been put in place.

In the Question, the criterion put in place was for the children to earn all A's in order to earn a reward, a reward of $50.
