Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
All of the options presented are measures of validity except for parallel forms validity, which is a measure of reliability. Parallel forms validity refers to the degree to which two different forms of a test that are designed to measure the same construct are equivalent (i.e., have similar scores). Validity, on the other hand, refers to the degree to which a test measures what it claims to measure. Content validity assesses whether a test adequately covers the content it is supposed to measure. Criterion validity assesses whether test scores are related to a particular criterion or outcome (e.g., job performance). Construct validity assesses whether a test is measuring the abstract or theoretical concept it claims to measure.
