Answer 1

Answer:

D. The process of stripping someone of their identity.

Explanation:

The term individual comes from Latin word "individuus" meaning indivisible or inseparable. In English, today, it means one, single, separate object or a person.

So, in analogy to this, deindividuation is a term meaning losing oneself's identity and individual characteristics to a group.

The participants in this Stanford Prison Experiment lost all of their individual traits; they gained characteristics of the group they belonged to (prisoners or guards) and acted in the way it was expected of them, not the way they would normally do.
