Answer 2

Reciprocity

Step-by-step explanation:

The principle of reciprocity referees to the tendency of humans to give back when they recieve something. The need to give something back is strongest when there is no expectation from the person that gave the gift.

People also do not want to feel indebted to others and this drives reciprocity. For example when someone says 'thank you', the other person has an urge to reply with a 'you are welcome.'

In the given scenario the Commissioner in Pennsylvania will waive certain examination requirements, provided that Ohio would waive these same requirements if a Pennsylvania producer sought licensure in Ohio.
