The correct answer would be, Misbehavior more resistant to extinction.
Punishing a child's misbehavior only occasionally when it occurs may mean that the behavior is actually being reinforced on a partial schedule because the child is able to get away with doing the behavior some of the time. This program of punishment would then have the result of making the misbehavior more resistant to extinction.
Explanation:
Extinction is the termination or disappearance, or vanishing of something or some act.
When a child misbehave, parents punish him to make his bad behavior extinct. But just punishing the child occasionally on his misbehavior is actually giving him chance to practice his misbehavior at certain times, because he learns that sometimes his parents don't punish him for this act, and he actually gets the reinforcement of doing that act.
So if parents want to make some misbehavior disappear from their children's act, they should punish them on regular basis for doing the act. Otherwise children will take the occasional punishment as the reinforcement to do the act certain times.
In this way the misbehavior in children will be more resistant to extinction.
