    d. negative reinforcement.

    Explanation:

    The word reinforcement is used in psychology to refer to anything that reinforces or increases the likelihood of a particular response. Negative reinforcement means removing something to improve reaction. In other words, eradicating a negative stimulus would improve and increase the chances that a particular response would cease to exist.
