Jannette McGurdy · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  External validity refers to the extent to which the findings of a study can be generalized to other populations or situations outside of the original study. Statistical validity refers to the degree to which the research findings are due to chance or whether they represent a true effect. Internal validity refers to the extent to which a study accurately measures what it is intended to measure. Construct validity refers to the extent to which a measure or test actually measures the construct (e.g. intelligence, motivation) that it is intended to measure.
