Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Regardless of the discipline or research methods used, all ethical standards have three golden rules. First, do no harm by causing participants physical, psychological, or emotional pain. Second, the researcher must get the participants' informed consent to be in a study. This includes the participants knowing what the study is about and how the results will be used. Sociologists can use deception (such as not revealing that they are researchers) if doing so doesn't harm the participants, if the research has been approved by an IRB, and if the researcher explains the purpose of the study to participants at the end of the research. Third, researchers must always protect a participant's confidentiality, even if the participant has broken a law that she or he tells the researcher about.
