Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Stanley Milgram's experiment showed that even in a highly artificial and unfamiliar authority structure, participants were inclined to obey those in power. This suggests that obedience to authority is deeply ingrained in human behavior and can manifest even in situations where it is not rational or appropriate.
