Jared Is Attending a Comedy Hypnosis Show with His Girlfriend

Jared is attending a comedy hypnosis show with his girlfriend, and he agrees to come up on stage and be hypnotised by the performer. While he is in a trance, he is given an instruction that when he wakes up he is to flap his arms like a chicken and grunt like a gorilla as he runs through the crowd. Because Jared is usually a rather quiet and laid back person, what do you think is most likely to happen when he "wakes up" from his trance?

A) He is going to experience a new deep-seated fear of hypnosis, comics, and nightclubs because the experience will set up a conflict that his rooted in his unconscious.
B) He is going to have a delayed response and will start acting like an animal in several hours because it will take time for the hypnotic suggestion to overcome his personality reservations.
C) He is most likely to do exactly what the performer instructed him to do, because hypnosis is effective at getting us to act in direct contravention to our own personality.
D) He is most likely to go back to his seat and sit quietly, since hypnosis cannot make us do things that we would not willingly do in our regular lives.
