The minimum distance model assumes that
A) the bliss point can easily be achieved by means of responses that are at a rate proportional to the preferences for each behavior.
B) schedule constraints prevent achievement of the bliss point; however, the subject can allocate responses to get as close to bliss as possible.
C) as the preferences for two behaviors become more similar, the bliss point is easier to achieve.
D) the time it takes to complete each schedule requirement-regardless of time interval or ratio schedule-determines which behavior is preferred.

The minimum distance model posits that while the ideal state of balance (bliss point) between different behaviors or activities might not be achievable due to various constraints (like schedule constraints), individuals will attempt to allocate their responses or behaviors in a way that brings them as close as possible to this ideal state.
