Answer to Question 1

C
A confederate is a person who helps the researcher by behaving in a prescribed manner during the research sessions.

Answer to Question 2

B
The participants may be asked by the experimenter to refrain from discussing the experiment with others while data collection is still in progress, but this is not required by the APA's ethical principles. However, all individuals associated with the research project (researcher, confederates, and assistants) ARE required to hold the data gathered in strict confidence.
