A repeated measures design (also known as a within-subjects design) involves measuring the same individuals at two or more points in time, such as measuring texting behavior during the first and last week of classes. This design allows for the comparison of changes within individuals over time, rather than comparing separate groups of individuals (as in a matched samples design). Therefore, A is the most appropriate answer.
