Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Negative reinforcement involves the removal of an unpleasant stimulus (in this case, the alarm clock buzzer) to increase a desired behavior (waking up). When the child wakes up and turns off the alarm, the annoying sound stops, which is a relief and encourages waking up on time in the future.
