Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solomon Asch is best known for his research on conformity, specifically his experiments that demonstrated how individuals often conform to the majority opinion even when it is obviously incorrect. This interest in understanding why people conform to group norms, even to the point of denying their own perceptions or beliefs, can be linked to the broader question of why individuals might support or join groups with extreme ideologies, such as terrorist organizations. This makes choice A the most consistent with the historical events and social contexts that inspired Asch's research.
