Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Learning that one is capable of obeying an order to hurt another person is not a positive outcome. It suggests a potential for harm to others without sufficient moral consideration or agency on the part of the subject. The other choices (B, C, D) all suggest positive outcomes in terms of increased knowledge and understanding of human behavior and the power of authority.
