Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The treats that Billy received for saying "trick or treat" acted as a reinforcement, increasing the likelihood of him repeating the behavior in the future. Therefore, the correct answer is reinforcement (option D). The other options, such as reward (A), discriminative stimulus (B), and conditioned stimulus (C), do not accurately describe the operant conditioning process in this scenario.
