B. False
Research generally recommends that time-out should not cease if the person is still engaging in the problem behavior when the time limit is up. Instead, time-out should end once the individual has been calm and displaying appropriate behavior for a specified period of time. This ensures that the time-out is effective in reducing the problematic behavior.
