Explanation :
Operant conditioning involves learning through the consequences of our behavior. We learn to repeat behaviors that are followed by a desirable consequence (reinforcement) and to avoid behaviors that are followed by an undesirable consequence (punishment). Therefore, the correct answer is D, which refers to behaviors and their consequences.
