Answer: a. testing effect

Explanation:

Testing effect is a type of threat to internal validity of an experiment. Internal validity is assessing whether a factor makes a difference in an experiment or not and if it does, whether there is adequate evidence to support this correlation.

Testing as a threat to internal validity is when a second test is taken on the outcome of a first test. Other internal validity threats are history, maturation, instrument modifications.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

- Human capital and physical capital

Explanation:

There are various factors that are responsible for the unequal distribution of income globally. These factors may include tax evasion, inflation, unemployment, etc.

As per the question, the major reason for this unequal distribution is due to improper allocation of 'human capital and physical capital' across the population which leads to establishing an imbalance in the economy as some people possess excessive wealth to show off while the others born, live, and die in poverty for generations. Thus, improper 'human and physical capital' distribution is the root cause of the increasing gulf between the rich and poor.
