You're on a roll! Both answers are right!
At first I thought your question was a little confusing but I think it is just my eyes are getting heavy. I know it is probably a little late but I would have to disagree with answer “C,” let me explain why I say this. If the students are conducting an experiment and part of the experiment is exposing their classmates to an embarrassing experience to gather data for their team,; if you inform the participants concerning the nature of the procedure before they consent to take part, in my opinion, the students are modifying the experiment. I do understand why you would have chosen that answer and I am sure you text probably has the answer right in front of you. However, I would have to answer, “B.” I think setting limits on the emotional responses which might occur would be a better answer. By performing such an experiment, many emotions can fly. By informing them ahead of time, it kind of eliminates the “embarrassing experience,” if that makes sense. I do think many college students regard such experiments as positive thought. After wasting time writing this, I just realized that it has to be within the ethical guidelines published by the American Psychological Association, the answer would definitely be “C.” You are always to get the consent of others before performing an experiment. They must know what is entailed in the experiment, side effects, etc. Sorry for all the other stuff. I know Ms. Sue answered your question for you but I am new to the site and thought I would see how this works.
