"Approximate completion rates across variations." — Milgram (1963, 1974)
Which generalization about Milgram's obedience studies is best supported by this graph?
- A
Obedience is highest when the learner is in another room and authority is absent
- B
Authority figure presence reduces obedience
- Ccheck_circle
Closer victim proximity and reduced authority decrease full obedience

Obedience is unaffected by the victim's proximity
Explanation
Milgram's variations showed that bringing the learner closer (same room, touch-proximity) and removing legitimate authority both reduced the proportion of participants who delivered the maximum shock.
