Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Providing opportunities for minors to measure their progress allows them to see their achievements and take ownership of their goals. It also gives them a sense of accomplishment and motivation to continue working towards their goals. Clarifying the consequences of negative behavior is important but should be combined with providing positive reinforcement as well. Incentives can also be helpful in motivating minors, but the goals themselves should be the main focus. Involving family and significant others can also be beneficial for support and accountability.
