Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The bystander effect is more likely to occur among strangers than among friends. This is because people tend to feel a sense of responsibility towards their friends and are more likely to take action to help them. In contrast, people may assume that someone else will help a stranger in need, leading to a diffusion of responsibility and a decreased likelihood of any individual taking action.

The bystander effect is:

A) less likely to occur among strangers than among friends.
B) more likely to occur among strangers than among friends.
C) less likely to occur in larger groups.
