Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Dehumanization of victims was indeed a strategy observed in Milgram's obedience experiments, where participants were more likely to follow orders to administer electric shocks when they could dehumanize the person receiving the shocks. This psychological distance made it easier for participants to comply with the authority's commands.
