c. "Do Not Underestimate the Power of Perceived Authority"

Explanation:

The Milgram's research is a research study done by Stanley Milgram from Yale University. In his research, he studied the difference and conflict between personal conscience and obedience to authority.

In the Milgram's study of obedience, the degree of the immediate physical presence of an authority is the independent variable whereas compliance was the dependent variable.

Perceived authority has a limitless power in terms of authority. Hence the correct option is (c).
