Deception is sometimes used in psychological research in order to create a realistic situation with genuine reactions. The answer for the question above is A.
EXPLANATION:
Deception is an act or declaration which misleads, disguises or encourages an untruthful faith, or idea. In the psychological research deception can be used only when alternative techniques are not fairly efficient in achieving study objectives. It prevents respondents from behaving unnaturally; it is essential for respondents not to be seen or studied in the manner they would usually be. Unless there is no option, the researchers should prevent misleading respondents about their nature–and even then an autonomous professional must find this to be acceptable.
If you have obtained informed consent by respondent’s deception, they will agree to participate without understanding what their consent was. The true nature of the research should be disclosed, at least during the debriefing, as soon as possible. Some researchers state that deception can never be legitimized, and object to this practice as it:
• Violating a participant's right to engage participation
• Constitutes a dubious foundation for building a discipline
• Leading to psychological distrust within the society.
