An adverb basically describes how you do something. It can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a clause. An adverb indicates manner, time, place, cause, or degree and answers questions such as "how," "when," "where," "how much". An adverb phrase is simply a phrase that acts as an adverb. The best choice is "for his good behavior".
