As an aspiring circus trainer, I gotta go with option A. Effectiveness is key when working with, you know, lions and stuff.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Eliminating the need for punishment sounds nice, but those undesirable effects are a real buzzkill. Tough call.

I'm all about reducing the response effort, so C gets my vote. Ain't nobody got time for resistance to extinction.
