Explanation:

In a fixed - interval reinforcement schedule, reinforcement is provided after a fixed amount of time has passed. Taking the dog to the park every afternoon at 4:00 p.m. is a fixed - time interval. Playing poker (A) is more related to variable - ratio (winning is unpredictable). Checking Facebook at random times (C) is variable - interval. Playing basketball after chores (D) is more like a fixed - ratio (after a fixed number of chores).

Answer:

B. taking your dog to the park every afternoon at 4:00 p.m.
