ANSWER EITHER A or B in approximately 75-100 words. Give reasons or explanations for your particular suggestions. Also, think of how your suggestions may “backfire” and tell what the consequences might be.

B. What options or other choices might have been available to the experimental student “prisoners” in the Stanford University 1971 experiment where students assumed roles of “guards and prisoners?”
