Time-out involves temporarily removing the child from the situation where the negative behavior is happening, so option D is the best choice. Spanking is not recommended as a method of correcting behavior as it can harm the child and does not teach them appropriate behavior. Ignoring negative behavior may reinforce it as the child is not being corrected. Positive reinforcement for acceptable behavior is important but not the focus of time-out.
