Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The bystander effect refers to the tendency for people to be less likely to help someone in an emergency situation when there are other people present. This is because people often assume that someone else will take action or feel a sense of diffusion of responsibility. Therefore, the bystander effect is most likely to occur in situations where there are several other people present.
