Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Milgram argued that the stimulus overload in cities leads to a psychological retreat, as people become overwhelmed and withdraw from social interaction. This can lead to feelings of isolation and social disconnection. While there may be increased crime or diffusion of responsibility in urban areas, Milgram specifically highlighted the psychological effects of stimulus overload on individuals.
