The process described is called debriefing. Debriefing involves giving participants information about the study that they were not aware of during the study, including any deception that may have been used. Debriefing is important for ethical reasons, as it ensures that participants are not left with any negative effects from the study and helps to maintain trust between researchers and participants. Informed consent (B) is also an important ethical requirement, but it occurs before participation in the study and involves giving participants information about the study before they agree to participate. Deceptive disclosure (A) is not a term used in psychology research, and autonomy (D) refers to the right of individuals to make their own decisions, which is important in informed consent but not the specific process of debriefing.
