Answer: Debrief Participants

Step-by-step explanation:

Debriefing occurs when participants are recruited for research, including communication research, and it is a central consent component of study which involves the deception of the participants.

Debriefing is the act of informing participants about the purpose of the study in which they just participated; during this process, researchers show any deceptions that occurred and explain why deception was needed. It occurs after the experiment.
