Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the concept of positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement involves adding (presenting) a desirable stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.

• Option "taken away from that individual": This describes negative punishment, not positive reinforcement.
• Option "always available, regardless of what the individual does": Does not involve a contingency to increase behavior, so incorrect.
