An example of the "experimenter effect" would be a situation in which the experimenter

a. acts out the proper behavior for the subjects.
b. deceives the subject as to the real purpose of the experiment.
c. unknowingly hints to subjects what is expected of them.
d. overtly tells the subjects how to respond.
