A) Participants felt full at the same time as control participants, but continued to eat anyway.
B) Participants ate significantly more than control participants, but did not feel more satiated.
C) Participants felt full at the same time as control participants and stopped eating.
D) Participants ate significantly less than control participants, but felt equally satiated.
Answer: B
Rationale: In experiments with "bottomless bowls" of soup, individuals stopped eating after consuming, on average, over 70% more than those participants who knowingly refilled their bowls. Furthermore individuals eating from bottomless bowls did not feel any more satiated, nor did they believe they had eaten any more than the individuals in the control group.
