An intermittent reinforcement schedule only rewards desired behavior periodically, while a continuous reinforcement schedule rewards desired behavior every time it happens. An ongoing reinforcement schedule is not a commonly used term. Unconditioned reinforcement is a type of reinforcement that is naturally rewarding without any prior learning. Immediate reinforcement refers to rewarding behavior instantly, which can occur under either an intermittent or continuous reinforcement schedule. Therefore, C is the correct choice.
