When the study has one dependent variable measured on a nominal level and one independent variable measured on a nominal level, the appropriate inferential procedure is the chi-square test. This test is used to determine if there is a significant association between the two variables. The other options (t-test, one-way ANOVA, and factor analysis) are not appropriate for nominal level variables, or they require additional variables or assumptions that are not mentioned in the question.
