Answer 1

This scenario best represents positive automatic reinforcement.

In this context, Georgia's pride in her increased muscle definition is a self-reinforcing experience that occurs automatically as a result of her efforts in strength training. She is positively reinforcing her own behavior (strength training) because it leads to a desirable outcome (improved muscle definition) that she sees in the mirror.
