Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The double-blind procedure was developed to minimize the effects of biases and expectations, both from the participants and the researchers, acknowledging that our perceptions and experiences can significantly influence outcomes in psychological research. This method ensures that neither the participants nor the experimenters know who is receiving a particular treatment, thus reducing subjective bias and increasing the reliability of the results.
