Answer:

a. press the button and "shoot" the black young men, regardless of what they were holding.

Explanation:

This research is a racial profiling study.  After the shooting of Amadou Diallo in 1999 and subsequent cases of shooting of innocent black males by the police force, several studies were carried out to investigate racial profiling. In the study in the question above, the participants were more likely to press and shoot the young black men regardless of what they were holding. This is an example of racial profiling.
