The study suggests that the rats in Group B, who had no control over the shocks, were more likely to develop ulcers and lose weight as a result of the stress. The rats in Group A, who had some control over the shocks, were able to avoid or turn off the shocks and did not experience significant detrimental effects. Option A and B are not supported by the information given, and option C is incorrect as the study suggests that Group B rats did experience negative effects.
