Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter c) c. Nearly all participants called the experimenter's attention to the learner's suffering, and many participants stated explicitly that they refused to continue.

Explanation:

The Milgram Experiment was a scientific experiment developed by psychologist Stanley Milgram. The experiment aimed to answer the question of how observed participants tend to obey the authorities, even if their orders contradict individual common sense. In analyzing the experiment, subjects were uncomfortable doing so and exhibited varying degrees of tension and stress. Participants did not mindlessly obey. Nearly all tried to disobey in one form or another. Nearly everyone called the experimenter's attention to the learner's suffering in an implicit plea to stop the proceedings. Many stated explicitly that they refused to continue (but nonetheless went on with the experiment)
