Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Eddie's behavior was not constrained by the bystander effect because he was working alone, therefore there were no other bystanders to influence his behavior. The bystander effect refers to the phenomenon where individuals are less likely to help in emergency situations when others are present because they assume someone else will intervene.
