Operant conditioning involves learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior. Among the options provided, the example that best fits operant conditioning is:

a person turning off an alarm clock in the morning.

This behavior is typically reinforced by the removal of an annoying sound (the alarm), which makes the person more likely to repeat the action in the future when the alarm goes off.
