Using the Asch procedure,conformity to group judgments would be LEAST likely when

A) participants announce their own answers only after the other group members have done so.
B) participants are not observed by other group members when giving their answers.
C) it is very difficult to make correct judgments.
D) judgments are made in a group that has more than three people.

The Asch procedure involves participants making judgments in the presence of a group whose members give unanimously incorrect answers. The purpose of this setup is to test the extent to which participants conform to the group's judgment despite their own perception of reality. If participants are not observed by other group members when giving their answers (as in option B), there would be no pressure to conform to the group's judgment, since there would be no group dynamics at play. Thus, conformity would be least likely in this situation.
