According to Latané and Darley's research, the likelihood of someone offering to help decreases as the number of bystanders increases. In option A, there are many people in the rush hour, so the likelihood of someone offering to help is lower. In option B, the crowded stadium parking lot increases the number of bystanders, making it less likely for someone to offer help. In option D, the full classroom increases the number of bystanders, making it less likely for someone to offer help. However, in option C, there is only one other person in the elevator, making it more likely for that person to offer help.
