Mimansa loves to color and draw in the little sketchbook her Aunt Bhar gave her. One day Aunt Bhar tells her, "Mimansa, I'll give you 25 cents for any picture you draw for me." Soon Mimansa finds that her piggy bank is heavier, yet her enthusiasm for drawing and coloring has drastically diminished. Why?
a)  The intrinsic reinforcement of drawing for its own sake has shifted to an extrinsic reinforcement of drawing for money.
b)  Stimulus generalization has occurred, where drawing and cash have been associated over time.
c)  Extinction has taken place, and Mimansa finds her drawing skills are not as strong as they used to be.
d)  Mimansa is in the "trough period" of operant conditioning, but eventually spontaneous recovery will cause her interest in drawing to return.
