Hamilton · Answer 1

Answer: c) Concurrent validity.

Explanation:

Concurrent validity is defined as the factor used in research for comparing the difference between the present test that is conducted and the already existing test. If the validity or present test is equal to validity of previously established test, then it is described as concurrent validity.

Accordant to the question, test conducted by Aneen in start and end of the year generates similar result by comparison. Thus, it is a concurrent validity case.

Other options are incorrect because content validity, divergent validity and predictive validity does not measure between the current test and well-established test. Thus, the correct option is option (c).
