Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The WISC-IV is a downward extension of the WAIS-IV, and the WPPSI-III is a downward extension of the WISC-IV. This means that each test is designed for a specific age range and is based on the expected intellectual levels for that age range. Option A is partially correct but does not specify which test is used for which age range. Option B is incorrect as the tests share many similarities and were created within the same framework. Option D is incorrect as the Wechsler tests have shown a moderate to high correlation with the Stanford-Binet.
