Letter A is the correct answer.

We know that sanctions can be either positive or negative, also known as rewards or punishments. They are good techniques used to approve/disapprove the behavior of others and realign an straying individual towards social norms. Giving a child a hug for doing something right is a good example of informal positive sanction.
