Understand the concept of a positive incentive: it is a reward or benefit offered to encourage a particular behavior.
Review each option and identify whether it offers a reward (positive incentive) or a punishment (negative incentive).
Option 1: A government imposes a fine for littering — this is a punishment, so it is a negative incentive.
Option 2: A store increases the price of a product to discourage overconsumption — this is a deterrent through higher cost, also a negative incentive.
Option 3: A company offers employees a bonus for meeting sales targets — this is a reward, which fits the definition of a positive incentive.
