In Milgram's research on obedience, when the teacher questioned whether the experiment should continue, the experimenter gave verbal prompts to encourage the teacher to continue. The experimenter did not verbally abuse the teacher or request the teacher to change places with the learner. Though the teacher was technically being shocked, this was not in response to their questioning of the experiment, but rather as part of the larger experiment itself. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.
