Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In psychology, reinforcement are the ways with which the students and people are motivated to perform a particular activity and to avt in a certain way. Punishments are used to demotivate people from doing some thing and to discourage them.

Since both the students in those case have separate cases in reinforcement and punishment, the same gives satisfaction to one person and does not satisfy the other person. One student might be motivated to study for  grade B and the other must be wanting a higher grade and thus got sad.
