In Discussing Their Findings, Darley and Batson Suggest That the Best

In discussing their findings, Darley and Batson suggest that the best explanation for why some subjects failed to stop and render assistance is because:

A) they were too preoccupied memorizing their speeches to even notice the victim.
B) they experienced a conflict between helping two different persons-the experimenter and the victim.
C) they were afraid that the victim was really a very dangerous street person who would harm them.
D) being shy, quiet individuals, as most seminarians are, they did not want to create a scene on the sidewalk, especially if the victim turned out to be drunk or disorderly.
