While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>In 1956, the Asch conformity experiments asked subjects to identify line lengths.</li> <li>Confederates intentionally gave wrong answers in some trials.</li> <li>About 75% of subjects conformed to the wrong answer at least once.</li> <li>Subjects who reported their answer privately conformed far less.</li> <li>The findings highlighted social pressure as a factor in judgment.</li> </ul> The student wants to emphasize the role of public versus private response in the Asch findings. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?

- C
Subjects judged line lengths in the Asch experiments.
- D
