The Asch procedure involves having participants make judgments in a group setting where other group members provide incorrect answers. The goal of the study is to see if participants will conform to the group or stick to their own beliefs. In option B, participants are not observed by other group members when giving their answers. This eliminates the social pressure to conform and thus makes it least likely for participants to conform to group judgments. Options A, C, and D all involve situations where participants are observed by other group members or where there is a potential for social pressure to conform.
