Question

the author describes two students who pretended to rob a house as part of a research study. after the break-in, another team of students was tasked with
a proving to researchers that it is not possible to identify criminals.
b pretending to be police officers who arrest the \suspects.\
c looking for evidence the \burglars\ had left at the scene.
d teaching investigators how burglars behave when committing a crime.

Explanation:

This scenario aligns with typical forensic or criminal justice research where after a simulated break-in, the next logical task is to examine the scene for evidence left by the "burglars", which matches standard investigative procedures. The other options do not fit the logical flow of a research study about a simulated robbery: option A is not a standard task here, option B focuses on arrest rather than post-break-in investigation, and option D would not be the role of this student team after the break-in.

Answer:

C. looking for evidence the "burglars" had left at the scene.
