Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
By leaving out a bowl of fruit on her kitchen counter, Midge is using the physical environment to make the healthy choice the easier choice. The fruit is more visible and accessible to her, which increases the likelihood that she will choose to eat it for a snack. Option A involves relying on someone else for motivation, option B is more of a mental strategy, option D involves modifying the goal rather than using the physical environment, and option E involves using technology rather than the physical environment.
