Answer:

A . “‘Any of us can move across it... I argue that we all have the capacity for love and evil — to be Mother Theresa, to be Hitler or Saddam Hussein.’” ( Paragraph 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Zimbardo claims that the line between good and evil is permeable, meaning that people are not born “good” or “evil”. On the contrary, everyone can cross that line, especially under certain circumstances. For example, the soldiers´ mental state and the lack of supervision, training, or accountability led to the abuse of an Iraqi prisoner in Abu Ghraib.
