This statement is true, as research has shown that suggestibility can increase during hypnosis and can lead to the integration of misleading or suggestive information into one's memories. The other statements, however, are not entirely accurate. While hypnosis may temporarily enhance memory, it is not a foolproof technique and false memories can still be formed (A). Additionally, confidence is not necessarily an indicator of truthfulness, as hypnotized individuals may believe false information that they have been given (B).
