She arranges for smokers to be randomly assigned to two groups: the first group receives no shock and the second group a painful shock for each puff. Some participants quit the experiment, mostly from the painful-shock group. At the end, there was no difference between the two groups on depth of inhaling. Which of the following is a correct conclusion?

a. electric shock has no effect on depth of inhalation.
b. the study is confounded by differential attrition.
c. the study is confounded by selection bias.
