In this scenario, Troy puts on his seatbelt to make a loud buzzing noise stop. The buzzing is an aversive stimulus that is removed when he fastens the seatbelt. This increases the likelihood that he will wear the seatbelt in the future.

Since the undesired buzzing is being removed (terminated) by the action of wearing the seatbelt, this is best described as negative reinforcement: a behavior is strengthened because it leads to the removal of an aversive stimulus.

Consider alternative concepts to avoid confusion: 
- Positive reinforcement would involve presenting a desirable consequence after the behavior to increase its occurrence (e.g., praise or a reward after buckling up). Here, there is no added positive consequence; the consequence is the removal of the buzzing. 
- Punishment (positive or negative) would aim to decrease a behavior. For example, adding an unpleasant stimulus after not buckling up would be positive punishment, or taking away a preferred item after not buckling could be negative punishment. Neither is described in this scenario.
- Extinction involves reducing a behavior by removing its reinforcement over time; here, the behavior is reinforced by the removal of the aversive buzz, so extinction is not the operative process.

Therefore, the correct interpretation is that the behavior (wearing the seatbelt) is maintained by negative reinforcement, since the removal of the aversive buzzing serves as the consequence that strengthens the habit.
