Final Answer : C, Explanation :  If Milgram had asked his research participants to begin punishment at the highest shock intensity, it is likely that more people would have disobeyed as the severity of the situation would be greater initially. This is because participants would not have been given the opportunity to gradually reinterpret the situation and may have found it too extreme to comply.
