The answer to question 56 is B: a voluntary action.

Explanation for each option: A) Someone whose actions you observe: This is incorrect because an "operant" refers to a behavior, not a person. B) A voluntary action: This is correct. In the context of operant conditioning, an operant is a behavior that is controlled by its consequences, and it is typically a voluntary action. C) An automatic, reflexive behavior: This is incorrect because automatic or reflexive behaviors are typically associated with classical conditioning, not operant conditioning. D) The mental image of an object or action: This is incorrect because an operant is a behavior, not a mental image.

For question 57, since it is not fully provided, I will not address it as per the guidelines.
