To say that a BCBA implements punishment of any sort before implementing an intervention is unethical. There is no way this answer is correct.

Selected Answer: A
I would have to say A because you cannot complete a BIP without first doing a complete functional analysis, which assumes C (direct observation).

C. Direct Observation is the most accurate answer. D will be correct when implementing a punishing procedure, a behavior analyst will use the least instructive punisher

The correct answer should be C. Since a functional analysis requires direct observation as well as well as momentary time sampling and also any intervention that will be completed after the behavior plan is formulated.
