    I believe the correct answer from the choices is:

    D. yes, but when the study is over the researcher has to reveal the study's real goals and explain why the deception was necessary.

    Sometimes deception is necessary in an experiment. For example in studies of altruism, the participants are deceived and are frequently distressed, however due to the nature of the studies deception must occur and these effects cannot be avoided.
