Explanation:

The Stanford prison experiment, led by Philip Zimbardo, was stopped after 6 days because the "prisoner" participants were experiencing psychological harm (like extreme stress, anxiety). The experiment's ethical concerns due to this harm led to its termination, not due to police orders (A), Stanford pulling support (B), or parent demands (D).

Answer:

C. it was harmful to the students who were the prisoners.
