One possible reason Ogilvy had for confessing that he “hired a professional hypnotist to make a commercial” is:
A
to say that he was sorry for being “diabolical”
B
to appear to be truthful and honest
C
to avoid being sued
D
to seem as rational as possible
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is important that the person trusts the hypnotist because otherwise he will not open his mind, in the other words, hypnosis will not work. When a person is in a hypnotic trance, the hypnotist may persuade him to do things he usually would never do.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypnosis can help you gain control over behaviors you’d like to change. It may help you cope better with anxiety or pain. Although you’re more open to suggestion during hypnosis, you don’t lose control over your behavior during a hypnosis session.

Detailed explanation-3: -Researchers have also found that hypnosis can calm brain regions that help control autonomic functions like heart rate, blood flow, and breathing. This is likely what leads to the physical relaxation that’s a hallmark of hypnosis, Spiegel says.

Detailed explanation-4: -The testimony of a witness whose memory was enhanced by a pretrial session of hypnosis is generally admissible. However, a major stumbling block to the use of hypnosis is that not only can a reluctant witness wilfully lie under hypnosis, but also a cooperative subject may remember a distorted view of events.
