Informed Consent
Informed consent is the process of obtaining and documenting an individual's voluntary agreement to participate in a study after they have been fully informed of everything that might reasonably affect their decision. This practice is fundamentally important for respecting a person's autonomy, as it ensures they are aware of the study's true nature, risks, and procedures before agreeing to participate, preventing situations where they might be subjected to undisclosed harms.

Deception in Research
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?
