During marital counseling, a man complains that his wife often bombards him with problems as soon as he settles down at home after work, which results in a prolonged argument.
 
  The wife admits that she does this but states she feels neglected and that her husband does not take the family problems seriously. She doesn't want her marriage to turn out like her parents' marriage. The wife admits that she sometimes provokes an argument in order to gain her husband's attention. How would a behaviorist most likely explain the wife's actions?
  A) She has repressed painful memories about her emotionally distant father and is working out her anger at the parent in the marital relationship.
  B) Her thoughts about her parents' unhappy marriage are a justification for her behavior.
  C) She has an underlying anxiety disorder.
  D) The long argument in which she and her husband participate positively reinforces her behavior.
