A Dutch study created a new obedience paradigm by asking men and women to make a series of 15 negative and derogatory comments to a prospective job applicant. As the applicant (really a confederate) became increasingly distressed, the participant, either in the presence or absence of an experimenter, made a choice of whether to stop the comments. What was the outcome of this study?
a.   Control group participants who did not have an experimenter present read the entire list of statements.
b.   There was no difference in the number of words read as a function of the presence or absence of the experimenter.
c.   When the experimenter was present, 92% of the participants read all of the derogatory words to the confederate.
d.   When the experimenter was not present, participants and confederates chatted and no data were collected.
