IRBs are responsible for ensuring that research studies involving human participants are ethical and do not cause undue harm. While making participants uncomfortable and embarrassed is not ideal, IRBs may approve studies that involve some level of discomfort as long as it is not overly harmful and the research has significant value. It is important for the IRB to carefully weigh the potential risks and benefits of the study before making a decision. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
