Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given:

Informed consent, as suggested by Diener and Crandall, includes the components:
A. Voluntarism
B. Researcher's competence
C. Information
D. Comprehension

Correct option is C

Diener and Crandall (1978) outlined key components of informed consent, which include:
    -Voluntarism (A): Participation must be voluntary, without coercion.
    -Information (C): Participants should be fully informed about the nature, purpose, and potential risks of the study.
    -Comprehension (D): Participants must understand the information provided to them before giving consent.

"Researcher's competence" (B) is not a component of informed consent but rather a general ethical principle ensuring that researchers are qualified to conduct studies.
