Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A placebo is a treatment or intervention with no active therapeutic elements, and the placebo effect refers to the changes in the individual's condition due to the expectation or belief that the intervention will work. Option B is not a common term, and option C is not completely accurate as endorphins are a type of neurotransmitter that can contribute to the placebo effect. Option D is not a suitable answer, as double-blind refers to a research design where both the participant and the experimenter do not know which treatment the participant received, not the actual intervention itself.
