I'm not sure what class this is for, but in Psychology this would be considered Naturalistic Observation. Hope this helps :)
This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Jennifer is a chain smoker. When her friend Irene, a non-smoker, gets in the car with Jennifer she is overwhelmed by the smell of smoke. One day she mentioned this fact to Jennifer, who was surprised by the comment. Jennifer claims that when she sniffs her hair and clothing she can't sense the smoky smell. Jennifer's inability to detect the smell is an example of _____.
A. perceptual redundancy.
B. sensory adaptation.
C. the cocktail party phenomenon.
D. closure.
Answer:
The correct option is letter B. sensory adaptation.
Explanation:
Sensory adaptation refers to the change our sensory receptors undergo when exposed to a constant stimulus. Since Jennifer is constantly exposed to the smell of the smoke, she can no longer smell it in her hair and clothing. Her receptors got used to the stimulus and no longer react to it. It is the same thing that happens to any of us when we enter a bakery, for instance. We immediately identify the smell of bread, bagels etc. But after just a few minutes inside the bakery, our receptors get used to the stimulus and we no longer smell baked goods.

Answer: Variable-Ratio
Explanation:
The variable-ratio schedule is one of the type of reinforcement schedule in the operant conditioning in which the various types of unpredictable variables of the response are developed by the organisms.
The lottery and the various types of gambling games are the best examples of the variable-ratio schedule.
The main benefits of the variable-ratio schedule is that it creating the steady and the very high rating response in this type of reinforcement schedule.
Therefore, Variable-Ratio is the correct answer.
