Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Research on obedience and authority, such as the Milgram experiment, has shown that individuals may be willing to harm others if instructed to do so by someone in a position of authority. Therefore, it is likely that participants would obey the directive to throw the acid in the assistant's face, regardless of whether they were hypnotized or not.
