The correct answer is letter "B": is the type of reinforcement in which organisms learn rapidly.

Explanation:

According to the American philosopher and psychologist Burrhus Frederic Skinner (1904-1990), the Operant Conditioning theory explains the interaction of rewards and punishments and how they influence individuals' learning process.

Under the same approach, continuous reinforcement implies having an individual repeat certain behavior constantly. By doing so, it is believed that the individual's learning process is faster.
