The Main Reason That Aronson and Mettee Administered the California

The main reason that Aronson and Mettee administered the California Personality Inventory (CPI) to their subjects in the card-cheating experiment was:

A) to measure the subjects' chronic self-esteem.
B) to determine whether some subjects might be too sensitive to participate in an experiment involving deception.
C) to determine which subjects displayed personality characteristics that would lead them to engage in cheating or other dishonest behavior.
D) to provide the experimenters with a "cover" for manipulating subjects' self-esteem by providing bogus test results.
