Answer:
The correct answer is c.) The bystander effect
Explanation:
In social pshychology, The bystander effect is a claim that individuals when they are in group, or surrounded by many people are less likely to help a victim in a situation of need, the greater the number of bystanders the less likely it is that one will provide help.
