Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
In Milgram's research on obedience, the experimenter gave the teacher verbal prompts to continue when the teacher questioned whether the experiment should continue. The prompts included phrases like "Please continue," "The experiment requires that you continue," and "It is absolutely essential that you continue." The teacher was not shocked, verbally abused or requested to change places with the learner at this point in the experiment.
