Answer 1

Answer:

The statement ' Inappropriate eligibility criteria could affect a study's construct validity' is true.

Option: (a)

Explanation:

• For the construct of the study to be valid, it is primarily necessary that the criteria of eligibility prescribed for the authenticity of the study is followed strictly.
