Question

Manvi Aggarwal · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  In order to conduct research involving deception ethically, researchers must obtain informed consent from their participants after the data is collected and the deception has been explained. This ensures that the participants are fully aware of the nature of the research and have the opportunity to withdraw their data if they wish. While paying participants, maintaining subject anonymity, and using double-blind control are important ethical considerations in research, they do not specifically address the issue of deception.
