Explanation:

To determine the correct answer for Question 7, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A schedule of reinforcement is not just the type of reinforcement (e.g., positive/negative), but about when/how it's delivered. Eliminate A.
• Option B: A schedule of reinforcement is a rule that defines the contingency (when, how often) for reinforcement. This matches the definition.
• Option C: It's not a simple calendar of delivery times but a rule about the contingency (e.g., fixed ratio, variable interval). Eliminate C.
• Option D: Schedules of reinforcement are about reinforcement, not punishment. Eliminate D.

Answer:

B. A rule that describes a contingency of reinforcement
