c. an isolated behavior that is the focus of your behavior change plan.

Explanation:

In psychology, the concept of target behavior refers to a behavior that has been identified, defined and that, then, has been selected for change. In other words it refers to one behavior that we will focus on with the objective of changing it (usually changing it by a healthier behavior).

In other words, a target behavior would be ONE behavior (an isolated behavior) that is the focus of your behavior change plan (since it will be changed over the course of our change plan).

Therefore, the correct answer would be C. an isolated behavior that is the focus of your behavior change plan.
