Option A is the only example that specifically mentions the use of a measure (the California Personality Inventory) to validate a construct (the personality of Chevrolet owners) by demonstrating the expected high correlation with a related measure (Edwards Personal Preference Schedule) and low correlation with an unrelated measure (Social Responsibility scale). Options B, C, and D are not examples of construct validation procedures, but rather alternative methods of data analysis or prediction. Option E is not a valid answer because it includes all options, even those that do not relate to construct validation procedures.
