In the middle of a difficult exam, Robert tells his teacher that his stomach hurts, and the teacher immediately sends him to the school nurse. On several later occasions when he has a difficult test or assignment, Robert again tells his teacher that he doesn't feel well. Each time he is sent to the school nurse without completing his work. From a behaviorist perspective, we can say that Robert is:
A) acquiring an unconditioned response to complain.
B) being intermittently reinforced for complaining about his stomach.
C) being negatively reinforced for complaining about his stomach.
D) being punished for complaining about his stomach.
