Answer: Negative punishment

Explanation:

Negative punishment is the punishment technique in which undesired act or behavior of someone is decreased by penalizing them through consequence so that then can become disciplined. Removing the access of a person from their favorite thing, losing reward etc is followed so that undesired same act in future does not occur by recalling the punishment for the act.

According to the question, Marsha is punished with 10-push up punishment as the fumbling incident happened. To make a corrective measure coach gave her consequenced task so that she would not repeat the act in future game practice. It would make Sharon more careful that she should not fumble as well because it would lead to push-up.
