Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The behavior of children who watched an adult model attack a Bobo doll and then were allowed to play in a room with a Bobo doll was significantly more aggressive than that of children in the control group who had not observed the aggressive model. This finding is from Albert Bandura's famous Bobo doll experiment, which demonstrated the impact of observational learning on behavior.
