The law of effect states that behavior that is followed by a positive outcome (reinforcement) is more likely to be repeated, while behavior that is followed by a negative outcome (punishment) is less likely to be repeated. Similarly, during observational learning, individuals observe the behavior of others and are influenced by the consequences (reinforcement or punishment) of that behavior. Therefore, during observational learning, the behavior of others is being reinforced or punished, making choice A the best option.
