Praise is a form of secondary reinforcement, which means it gains value or reinforces behaviors through its association with a primary (or innate) reinforcement or reward (such as food, shelter, or water). In this case, completing household chores is the primary reinforcement, and praise is the secondary reinforcement that adds value to the behavior and increases the likelihood of it being repeated in the future. Additionally, praise is a form of positive reinforcement, which means it adds something desirable (e.g., compliments, attention, recognition) to increase the probability of a behavior occurring again. Therefore, both B options in the answer choices are correct, but B is the most specific and accurate one.
