    c) reinforcer

    Explanation:

    A reinforcer, in operant conditioning, is a reward or positive consequence that is presented after a specific behavior occurs, and as such, the tendency of such behavior to be exhibited increases. For example, the computer time is a positive reinforcer presented to students as a stimulus, that increases the likelihood of the student turning in their homework more often.
