Final answer:
The Milgram studies showed that people most likely follow orders when an authority figure is close by, the victim is not close, and there is no example of defiance.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Milgram studies demonstrated that people were most likely to follow orders in a number of conditions, primarily when: A. The experimenter was nearby and a legitimate authority figure, B. The victim was not nearby, and C. There were no models for defiance. Milgram conducted his experiments in the context of authority and obedience, revealing how people are willing to perform actions conflicting with their own conscience under command from an authority figure. Variations of the experiment showed that the obedience levels changed with the proximity of the victim and the authority figure, with obedience decreasing as the victim's humanity became more apparent and the authority's presence became less direct.
