Rationale

Step 1: Identify the concept being tested

This question tests your understanding of tangible functions in behavior assessment.

Step 2: Analyze the question

This question asks you to make a functional interpretation based on data about self-injurious behavior and item removal.

The Correct Answer is C

The increase in self-injury after preferred items are removed suggests that the behavior is maintained by a tangible function, as the client may be attempting to regain access to these items.

Incorrect Choices:

1. Sensory reinforcement involves self-stimulatory reinforcement, not item access.
2. Escape functions are related to avoiding aversive tasks or environments.
4. Attention-seeking would increase in response to social deprivation rather than item removal.
