Licemer1 [7]

A batsman is unlikely to score a century in every cricket match. This is an example of "partial reinforcement".

<u>Option: C</u>

This method of arranging reinforcement is also called intermittent reinforcement after certain number of correct answers or certain interval of time. Thus here a batsman donot plan intentionally to make a century in every cricket match, but it goes random. Although when they need to score high on pressure, they force themselves to stretch as much possible which is not general.
