Multiple Choice

A researcher is studying the effects of stress on cognitive performance. Participants are told they will be solving a series of difficult puzzles. However, the researcher intentionally provides an unsolvable puzzle and introduces loud, intermittent noises to create a stressful environment. After the allotted time, participants are thanked for their time and dismissed without being told that the puzzle was impossible or that the study's real purpose was to observe their reactions to frustration and stress. Which statement best evaluates the ethical standing of this research design?
