Debriefing is necessary at the conclusion of a study that involved deception in order to inform participants of the true purpose of the study and to mitigate any harm done. Dehoaxing, which involves explaining any false information given to participants during the study, may also be necessary for more serious forms of deception. Therefore, choice A is the best answer. Unlearning (choice C) and relearning (choice D) are not typically required in the debriefing process.
