Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The experiment involves three independent variables: age with 3 levels (young, middle, old), gender with 2 levels (male, female), and type of job with 2 levels (blue collar, white collar). Thus, it is a 3 (age) × 2 (gender) × 2 (job type) factorial design, making the correct answer 3 × 2 × 2.
