The question states that the experimenters were led to believe that the graph would form a U-shaped curve, which suggests that demand characteristics were being manipulated to produce this result. However, in reality, the results formed a traditional V-shaped graph. This suggests that the demand characteristics did not have the expected influence, and the actual results were more in line with what would typically be expected without such manipulation. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.
