    B, C only

    D.

    B, D only

    Correct option is B

    The Multitrait-Multimethod (MTMM) matrix, developed by Campbell and Fiske (1959), is a statistical technique used to assess construct validity in psychological research.
        Statement A is correct: The MTMM design investigates construct validity by measuring multiple traits using multiple methods to determine whether the measures accurately reflect the constructs they intend to assess.
        Statement C is correct: The MTMM approach is associated with Campbell and Fiske, who introduced this framework to evaluate the validity of psychological tests.

    Information Booster:
    The MTMM Matrix is used in psychology, education, and social sciences to assess the validity of measurement instruments.

    Key Components:
    -    Convergent Validity: Measures of the same trait using different methods should correlate highly.
     -   Discriminant Validity: Measures of different traits should show low correlation.
      -  Method Bias Check: Helps determine if the method influences measurement results.
       - Reliability Testing: Ensures consistency of measurements.

    Additional Information:
    -Coombs and Holladay (B - Incorrect): Known for work in decision theory and scaling models.
    -Composite Reliability (D - Incorrect): A measure used in structural equation modeling (SEM).
