Answer 1

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1974 Yale Psychologist Stanley Milgram underwent The Milgram experiment. This was an obedience experiment in which people were convinced that they were helping with an unrelated experiment, where they had to administer electric shocks to other "learners". This being said these participants were convinced with both informational and normative social influences to become participants in the study.
