Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the statement, only 6 out of 24 participants developed false memories of being lost in a shopping mall as a child. Therefore, option A) is the correct answer. Option B) and C) are incorrect because they exaggerate the number of participants who developed false memories. Option D) is also incorrect as it mentions a different scenario (i.e., knocking over a punch bowl in the mall).
