The correct answer is A. Harrison is on a fixed-interval schedule of reinforcement.
In this scenario, Harrison is waiting for a response from his boss after a specific duration (five minutes). He checks his email at regular intervals (every 30 seconds), which aligns with a fixed-interval schedule where reinforcement (the email response) is expected after a set period of time.
