Reinforcement is a process where a behavior is strengthened by the delivery of a consequence (positive or negative). Positive reinforcement involves administering positive consequences (such as rewards or recognition) to increase the probability of a behavior occurring again. Conditioning refers to the process of learning through association, corroboration means confirmation or collaboration of information, and modification is the act of making partial or minor changes. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
